Gypsy Beauty
A Memory of Waltham Abbey.
Our Barge King Edward V11, was moored at The Lock Waltham Abbey C 1954 I was 14 years old. I loved the mooring and used to go often to the Cinema's in Waltham x. I became a member of the Drama Group in the Abbey. One Sunday I saw a beautiful girl standing on the steps of the cinema in Waltham Cross, with her friend. I walked up the steps, took her in my arms and kissed her on the lips. I then turned away and walked down the steps and away. I never saw her again. She was a Gypsy from the encampment behind the Waltham Lock. I still think of her. L.A.F.S. She would be my age now, or a year or two older.
