My life began on 23rd April 1970, born a t 5-20am on a Thursday. I weighed in at 5Lb 9oz......
I spent the first 6 months of my life living in a small village called Goostrey in Cheshire.
Then with my parents Graham and Jean Bunn we moved to another small village called Comberbach, in Cheshire.
I do not remember much about my first few years, other than when I was 2 I nearly drowned when we we're on holiday with my grand parents, It was in sinking sand my dad mangaed to pull me out.
In Decenmber 1974 my brother came along. We used to play alot together but grew apart in out teenage years, more about that later.
I started school in 1974 at Comberbach primary school, and had many friends there, we had a great time and many of use all ended up at the same high school too....
I started high school in 1981 when i was 11 yeras old. I didn't enjoy my first 3 years there as I was bullied alot, but by 1984 I'd got lots more confidence and coped better with everthing.
1974-1981
We had a wonderful time a primary school, Always lots of things to do, in the summer we went on walks and visited local people. We used to visit and old lady who lived at Mulbury House and have ice creams just before the summer break the whole school would go....
We used to have really great CHristmas parties too...we always had to take in our own plates bowls and culterlry on that day.
We had a sports day every summer it was always scorching hot on that day....I was in Marbury house we won lots of races and games.
1981:-
This was the year I left primary school and start at high school, at first it was ok but I got bullied alot for the first 3 years at high school as I wasn't the strongest person, metally or phyicsally....
by 1984 I'd grown up alot, I'd become a woman too.
!984 was also a very special year for me as this was the year that I'd been choosen to be Comberbach Rose Queen, This happen on the say of 25th June the day started off dull and cloudy, by the time the procession was due to start it was scorcing hot and loads of people had turned out for the biggest event of the year. My dads flying club also did a display .
I forgot to mention 1978, that was the year I started to go flying with my dad, and i went for the next 18 or so years. More about flying later on.
ReplyDelete1986, this was the year that I left school it was probably my best year there too. I worked and studied hard and did well in my exams, of course back then it was still CSE's and "O" levels.
I left school on 24th May 1986, I had the weekend off and started work on the Monday.
I started at a local garden centre back then called winnington garden centre but it wasn't the right place for me, I wasn't learning enough about plants or gardening, luckily just as I finished an apprentership came up at Arley hall& gardens so i spent the next 2 1/2 years there, learning and working with many different kinds of plant. I met many wonerful knowlegdable peole there and quite a lot of famous ones too.
Ater I finished at Arley I thought it was time to go and get of qualification in horticulture,m so off I went to college and ended up with a degree in horticulture, thats something else i'm very proud off.
Just before I went off to college a help to run a small garden nursery at Marbury hall, I was only there for 6 months but really enjoyed ot and ran the place most of the time as the boss was going to move to the USA.
1999
ReplyDeleteWhen I'd finished college I had a few weeks off as at that time I couldn't find a suitable job, then one came up at High Legh garden centre, I started off as a garden nursery assistant and after a few years there I became a supervisor n a job that I really did enjoy but, as they say all good things must come to an end, unfortunatly they did for me. In 1998, the pervious year I met some one who I thought was "THE ONE"...( he wasn't)
I got pregant by him and we had a son who's now 13 years old.
I made a terrible mistake and spent 12 unhappy years with him...He was very selfish only ever thought of himself, spent evry noght in the local pub, hit ne threw me down starirs several times stopped me from seeing my family, bullied me made me do alot of things that I now regret more than ever.....
He doe't let me see my first son...but I know that when he's ready he'll come and see me....
My x-partner made me give up the job I loved he didn't help me with his son or around the house lazy...very much....I. am now so glad that I left him...
I now have a really happy life with a wonderful man and beautiful little boy,whom I love very much.....
I'll come back to this part later.
In 1991 I had my 21st birthaday and had a wonderful party with 149 guests and lots of good music and dancing some wonderful presents too.
1994 I'd had many years of trouble with my jaw, so it was decided by my dental surgeon that I need to have an operation to sort it out, I got to a stage were eating and chewing was getting more and more painfull, So on 8th June I went in to hospital to have the surgery done.It took over 8 hrs to complete. and after a few months of rest I was able to use my jaw and 2eat properly again as I'd been on purreed food for weeks and really enjoyed being able to eat an appple for the first time in years....
The other good thing was that i'd stopped bitting my nails, they looked really nice.
I met a nice man that year too, we went out together for a short time but he wasn't right for me, then I met a really nice dutch man but he had a girl friend back home so we just became go close friends and could talk about anything together.
Then in 1992 I first saw a lad flying and could do loads of carzy flying with plane s or helicopters. I fell in love with him, although he didn't know this until several years later....
1994-1996
These untill 2007 were probably some of the happest years of my life.
I got introduced to Paul at one of my best friends model shop, upstairs inthe office...Everyone knew that I liked Paul, but I'm sure they didn't quite how much.
1994-1996
ReplyDeleteThey say in life you only have one true love. Well I did find mine Paul although he never really knew .
We saw each other loads of times and spent a number of flying events together, but only as friends. I couldn't believe how nice he was and we did get on rather well, but as the time went on we driffeted apart and Paul was lucky enough to get his dream job...I carried on at High Legh But then the Christmas of 1996 I made what was to be the biggest mistake of my life (This was told earlier)
ReplyDeleteI had 12 years of shear hell...but I'm over all that now...
2007 to present I met John in 2006 and thought he was really nice a gentleman as well, he was kind romantic passionate handsome strong. I called him my Knight in shinning armour (IT was actually a leather coat)But i wasn't bothered.
John opened my eyes to what i was really missing....A real man, he was (is) definately that.
I decdided that i'd had enough of being mistreated and when then monent was right I managed to find the strength to leave my now x-partner....
I divorced him and went to live with John...we've been together for over just over 4 years now...and we're very much in love with one another and we're best friends too...
We've never had an arguement or really fallen out about anything with have a very loving and caring relationship. John is everything I ever needed in a man. Kind, gentle, passionate, romantic, handsome,strong, well built, he makes me laugh and is a great dad to our son Edward, He's a gentleman too.
We always talk about everything and never let to much get us down...What's the point.
I did find it hard at first to be loved so much by John but now We had a really good life together and enjoy lots of the same things we both like almost the same taste in music and we both enjoy building and flying model aircraft.
We go to the cinema when we can and go out for a drink sometimes too..
And I know we love each other very deeply and hate being apart.
Think I'm going to go back to the very beginning again as I missed a bit out.
ReplyDeleteI was born in Nantwich at the barony hospital which has now been knocked down.
The house which we lived in in Goostery is still there and I seen it quite a few times.
My parents and brother still live in the house at Comberbach. It's a down a dark little lane with open fields opposite it.
Myself and John go over there quite regularly.
The village has not changed to much no new houses still got a quite a few people I know living there too.
You must excuse my spelling...it has never been much good.
Lets go back to BOYS & MEN....
Had loads of crushes at school who doesn't....never went anywhere though.
I didn't really bother with men until I was nineteen...then I had my first boyfriend at college we spent alot of time together and we parted at the end of college and we never saw or heard from each other again....a bit sad but life went on....
I was always nervous around lads/men as they never really took to much notice of me.
There were one or two that did and me being so stubborn and independent just brushed them away.
There were several that i do regret not going out with...There was Steve who I went flying with and Duncan I do wish sometimes that I hadn't been so stupid as to let them go....
I'm still good friends with both of them, but like me theyv'e both moved on...
And of course there was Paul....I was totally besotted with him....I worked my time at work around seeing himn fly or at Steves shop.
We had some good times together, and wish I hadn't let him go....probably should of said something....
My life from 1997-2006 was pretty bad, and now I regret wasting the time i did with my x-partner.
He ruined my life...and lost me a lot of good friends and took me away from my family too...I didn't see them for 4 years which I deeply regret....I missed them so much...They missed me too....
But now life is good and I see my family most weeks. We go out a lot too..
I know my life story keeps flititing back and to but it's as and when I remember things that happened....

The Teenage Years
ReplyDeleteAs a teenager I had all the usual teenage troubles...I started my period when I was 14 and I hated boys....did want to know anything about them I jut wanted to study hard and get the qualifications I needed. I got picked on and bullied at school for this until my last year...I think thats when the hormones finally kicked in....I was not my goody two shoes although I was never really bad and never scived off school I enjoyed my last year there...
As for home life well I got on really well with my dad, but my and my mum were constantly arguing with each other and I hated my brother, mind you he was having a hard time too...He hadn't been to well and I didn't make it any easier for him.
So I finihed school he finished 4 year later, then went off to six form college, this is were the real problems started...As I'd gone straight into work and he got everything given to him...then he went off to uni for 4 years and had one year in the usa, again with everything being payed for....I think looking back prehap I was jealous but I didn't think it was fair. I worked very hard for everything I owned, And my brother just got given what ever he asked for.....and still does to this day.
He still lives with my mum and dad,and has never done a day work in his life.
And still don't see eye to eye with him and still don't know how he'll cope when mum and dad aren't around....
But I'm determined that I'll keep on with what I like to do and he can get on with his life, It does make me feel better knowing that my brother is there with my parents as I do worry about them now there both getting older, my dad was 71 just before Christmas and my mum will be 66 in February....
My dad still flies his plane at leat 3 times a week weather permitting although he does go indoor flying too.....
Anyway thats enough about my brother....for now.
1998
ReplyDeleteThis was a particularlly bad year in certain cases but good in others.
My grandparents were both still alive at the start of the year and my first son was born.
We got the bad news about grandpa at the end of march he'd been told he had cancer and that it had spread all through his body, he saqdly died on 20th May 1998 3 weeks before my first son wa born....
It was supposed to be a happy time but it never was....
My first son arrived on 4th June 1998 a healthy boy weighing 5LB 12oz my x-partner spent all night asleep in the fathers room while i struggled to give birth to his son....
It wa the start of my hate for my x-partner, he didn't help with anything with his son, i had to do it all, he still went out to the pub every night while i stayed in and looked after his child..After 18 months i was told i'd been suffering from post natal depression....no wonder with now help or support for him...
I thought all was going to be alright after Christmas as i'd planned to go back to work then...he put a stop to that...and the sad thing was that just before Christmas on 8th December my Gran died she'd been ill on and off for many years....And yet agian my x had managed to ruin Christmas...I wish i had of had the guts to leave him then. But I didn't and just carried on..I hated my x and left him several times.
I was always better off with out him he took loads of money from me when i did go back to work, but it wa only cleaning for people, I hated it...So decided to quit in 2006, that was the year i also met John...my ever loving man.
1998 ended very sadly I missed and still miss my gran and grandpa even 13 years on...I spent alot of my childhood with them and wish both my sons could of knew them like i did.
My x-partner made me do many thing which when thinking back were well below my standards, but he dragged me down to his level, but only for a short while, I soon started to fight back....
I was happy when i wasn't with him and could do my own thing, the times i wlaked out on him were always good too...I went where I wanted to go and was not being bullied or pushed around by anyone...
My x was a bully, I do wish i'd taken notice of what everyone told me at the begining..I should of stayed at homeand carried on with my job...
But after only a month of going out with him i moved in to his house, it was probably the bigget mistake i had made in my life....I had 12 years of hell with him...
When I met John i could then see my x for exactly what he was, a lying cheating abusive bully...The day I left him was the best dayI'd had for many years.
July 26th 2006
I'd had a really bad week at home with my x, he'd acused me off lots of things including having an affair with John, which wasn't true...
as what he called punishment he made me re-paint our sons room, We were supposed to be going up to a fair in Cumbria on the tuesday, but that was not going to happen so I thought...So I statrted to re-paint the bedroom,but took my mobile phone in with me so I could talk to John and hi then girlfriend Alison...not for much longer though....
Onthe friday night my x sent our son upstairs to tell me that if i'dgot the room finished painted that night that we could go up to Cumbria on the saturday...I got it finished, but he said it wasn't good enough and decided that he'd push me down stairs that night and said i deserved it, I had a 8 inch briuse up my arm luckily i did not break anything....Anyway we got up to Cumbria on the satuday afternoon, and went over to see John and his family I went to say hello to John and my x took the hump...yet aagin.
The Saturday afternoon my x said he'd had enough and that we were going back home, me being so stuborn stood my ground and refused to drive back...I text John to tell him what was going on and he marched over and put my x in his place....And recued me...I parked up the van and caravan and went to help John with his fairground ride for the afternoon, meanwhile my x was getting angryer and angryer and had another go at me that night, so I just ignored hinm for a change and pent the sunday helping Jihn again which wound up my x even more...He had a go at me again in front of loads of people and i just cracked that was it, I got mhy bag of clothes my quilt pillow and other belo9ngings and told him Iwas leaving him..He spent the next few hours begging me to come back and telling me he'd change...not likly.....So I spent the night in Johns truck...The following day he wa back again, trying to get me back, that was when i told him I wa divorcing him..and I wanted nothing more to do with him, I told him to go away and leave me alone and let mne rebuild and get on with my life...John and Alison were very supportive and helped me threw the next few £200 for a taxi to take him back...although he went back to his mothers and stayed there. for a while....
ReplyDeleteI'll carry on later.
1994
ReplyDeleteThis was a year that was going to totally change my life. I'd had many years of trouble with my jaw, it wasn't growing right although you couldn't really tell from the outside...
on 8th June 1994 I went in to the countess of chester hospitaland had major jaw surgery, they had to break my jaw, cut bone and re-aline it all, then put it all back together will metal plates and pins...it's all still in there now after 17 years and has never moved back, I was very poorly after the op and had 12 weeks of work recovering. The first two weeks I didn't sleep at all, this was due to all the medication I was taking, after two weeks I finally fell asleep for nearly 2 days...I needed the sleep, and felt much better after it...I met a nice lad at work called Rob, he came to see me loads of time s while I was off work and we went out for walks and visited loads of nice places...the only problem was, that he was married, it didn't last for to long but it was fun while we were together....After that I met up with Paul we had some very good times too....we spent one and a half very happy years together...I will never forget him or the things we did together....and if your still wondering do I still love him ..well the answer is most definately YES I do...WHo could resist his blond hair blue eyes and irish.liverpool accent..he was and still is georgous...Ihaven't seem him for agaes but I know he's well and doing really well with his work....I do miss him loads...but then I do have John and Edward to love and take care of me now...And I do love them both very deeply...
It's a shame we went are seperate ways, but that's life as they say...We did go our seperate ways...then I made the biggerst mistake of my life....and went and wasted 12 years of my life....I know now that I made a very big mistake back then....
I'm over all that now...and have John and Edward to look after and I'm very happy and being well looked after and cared for by John...
1991
ReplyDeleteThis was the year that I was 21 and what a year...
I had a really busy year...I was very buay at work lots of new plants were introduced this year...My party took just 4 weeks to organise..
We invited 180 people and 149 turned up it was a brilliant night.
A few weeks later me and one of my friends flew off to Potugal for a week, it was a beautiful place but to hot for me one day when we went to the beach it reached 110o even the sea was rather warm...
A few weeks after returning from Portugal I went for a two week holiday up in Scotland we visited my beautiful places...
I met a really nice dutch man we always had a really good time together even though we only saw each other every two weeks, It didn't last..unfortunately...
I spent more time at work as I wanted to get on well in my job...The hard work did pay off a few years later as I became nursery supervisor...
I only wish I'd stayed there now...instead of wasting my time with the X...
If I hadn't met him in 1996 who knows what i'll of been doing now...
The one good thing is that I now have exactly what I always wanted my own nursery.... It may be small, but we're growing steadily...
1991 will always have specical memories of this year..people still talk about my party to this day it was a brilliant night...
Thank you all for such a special night....one I will always remember...Lady Sarah.
