When I think about it, there really was no reason to take up lodgings in Ealing for the sake of a job in Maidenhead. It would have been much more sensible to rent a place in Slough or Wycombe. The truth is, I was placed in that locality for no other reason than that I would meet my wife, and by extension the children that came into our lives as a result of our connection to the area. I always thought my presence there was all about a job. No, it was about so much more.
