A Stunning young lady full of smiles with her whole life ahead of her poses in the garden
with her sister in law Joyce
This young lady always made certain she would be outside cleaning the front door steps of the house she was in service in, Just to make sure she didnt miss the Handsome young Milkman Jack on his rounds!!
" Every day when i was delivering milk from the local dairy to the house where she was in service near Rusthall Common Tunbridge Wells. Every day when i arrived she used to make sure she was cleaning the step and we'd stop for a talk "
Mr Twort recalled
" It was love at first sight, and i never wanted anybody else "
Mrs Twort chuckled at her wiles that proved succesful.
" I Took to him straight away and i would
do it again "
she said
