Thank you for your latest blog. I have to say it rang a few bells with me as back in the 90s I became interested in Scuba Diving and almost from the outset I had the dream of one day becoming an Instructor. OK it took a few years whilst I completed the necessary qualifications and experience but I got there in the end and then went one step further qualifying to help teach people to become Instructors themselves, so you can see where the bells came from in reading your latest blog.

I also notes your reference to Contact Lenses, back in 1959 and the Amateur Cup Final against Crook Town we had a Goal Keeper named Brian Goymer who was the first goalie I understand to wear Contacts, I often wondered what would have happened if he had ever lost one given the pitches we played on in thoes days.

Finally I have just had one of the birthdays which has a 0 on the end and my son-in-law has given me a match day Programme of the 1946 Amateur Cup Final against Bishop Auckland which was unexpected. The worry is I actually saw 3 of the players that day still playing during the 50s when I first started supporting the Bees. Happy days.

David, great to hear your story! Sometimes the longer journeys are the best, worth waiting for and making the most of every moment.
