| The Eighties was very much our decade; it started for me living in Dubai, but in 1983
we returned to the UK. Rob & Maggies' children, Maria, Sarah and Cathy were born in this decade, and my grandfather,
Alfred Horton sadly passed away in 1981. I went through my teenage years, had O'levels and A' levels at school, and started
university in this decade. These ten years are not remembered for their heights of sartorial elegance and many fashion
disasters were tried and abandoned... as you will see from some of these pictures. |
