'I am starting to count again after the age of 100, so I am only 6'
The Germans had just launched a major attack on the British, known as the Battle of the Aisne. As the fighting continued across Europe, Dorothy's parents brought her up in the relatively safe surrounds of the quiet, idyllic Lake District.
Now she has a glass of Croft Original sherry with her evening meal, a habit she picked up during Covid and which has become a tradition. “I loved school, and my favourite lessons were maths and geography, but I hated history – because the teacher was so boring” she said. "My dad would always come over and stand in the doorway watching," she said. "Years later I realised he was checking up on me and making sure the boys behaved around me. I had a different boy walk me home every week till I started going steady with George.”
After getting married, they spent the next 52 years together, moving to Greater Manchester in 1956. They had two daughters, Sheilah, and Ann, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.After romance blossomed, Dorothy and George carried on dancing together and won numerous regional dance competitions. In 1997, after George's death, Dorothy moved back to Stockport, living in Heaton Mersey.. She now lives at Newlands care home in Heaton Moor.
