When Geraldine was 17 years old they moved to 8 Tanjil Place. A Split Level Home which they loved. My parents won the "Home Beautiful Gardens Award " on a number of occasions. While we were there my brother who had long finished his Electrical Apprenticeship joined British Petroleum as 1st Officer on a Tanker, and while in the Navy attained his Mechanical and Electrical Degrees. Plenty of time to study while at sea. He also attained a Shipping Pilot's Qualifications.
