I went to work in Pontins holiday camp Little Canada in May 1975 and i met my future husband Chris who came from Wales we instantly liked each other and started to go out on dates mostly to the village and the sloop.So we met in May engaged in June and married in December that year.39 years and two sons later we recently returned to the Island and of course we had to visit Wootton Bridge and a drink at the sloop its still very special and brought back a lot of memories
