Mary was born in Chester and lived there until she left home to start nursing training. She met the man who would become her husband over an operating table in London and they went on to have lots of fun, lots of travelling and four children. Now with the kids all grown up they have settled in a lovely part of Shropshire where the Welsh and Shropshire hills form a beautiful backdrop to the rolling farmland.
Richard Wilde is dying and determined to write the truth of his long life. He recalls the ups and downs of a conflicted family on a farm in Shropshire, his war years, his friendships, but most of all the enduring passion he felt for Elizabeth, the girl in the blue dress, who was the love of his lifetime.
