Courting days
[Friday, 25th June, 1960] Spent the evening with Emma on Camp Hill, necking and feeling her (upstairs and downstairs, outside and in). I came up with a crazy plan to spend a night with her and mentioned it casually to her, claiming I had actually dreamt about it the previous night. Could we do it one day? To my surprise she didn’t immediately say no, and admitted that she shared my dream of us sleeping together before we were married. The plan was for me to borrow a pup tent and a couple of sleeping-bags and for us to go to Delamere (perhaps). She would say she was staying the night at Norma’s, and I would say I was on a Senior Scout expedition. We discussed it for half an hour or so before we both started to realise that it was a ridiculous idea when it got down to the practicalities, such as food and drink, washing and (although it wasn’t mentioned) toilet arrangements. For that reason, Delamere was out and the nearest campsite with facilities was Bala. So the plan to share a sleeping-bag has been put on the back burner, probably for the duration. Still, it was a nice dream while it lasted.
