After we moved out of that flat it wasn&#8217;t until we moved to Scotland 2 years ago that we had our own (i.e. not shared) place. That was a great year, in that tiny flat in Southampton.<\/p>\n<p>We got engaged when I was just 17, and, having had him in my life ever since, Frood is responsible for many things about me. One of them is a liking for black pepper. Another is my rather eclectic music taste. He turned me on to English Folk Music. He also turned me on to prog and psychedelic rock.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m working from home today and thus have the benefit of the stereo system. Last year I finally bought my long-desired copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Warrior_on_the_Edge_of_Time\">Warrior On The Edge Of Time<\/a>. We&#8217;d only had a copy on second-hand tape before. Today I stuck it in the stereo because I&#8217;ve been listening to Faith No More a lot and wanted something different.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as <i>Assault and Battery<\/i> came on I was right there in that flat in Southampton, with the Morning Glory growing on the fence around the Scout hut opposite; the smell of that wooden dresser in which we kept all our student-cheap dried goods; the sun baking the bathroom; the cat sulking about not being allowed in the bedroom; the desk tidy I&#8217;d made out of Irn Bru tins taped together; and Frood chopping carrots in that purple top he used to own.<\/p>\n<p>We both had long hair then. He has short hair now but I&#8217;ve grown mine again. Other than the hair, the rather less parsimonious diet and the change of scenery, I don&#8217;t think all that much has changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 15 years ago Frood and I were living in a little flat above a garage in Southampton, just off Highfield Road.
