Dave Sheasby - Five Summers and Johnny Onion

A photo evokes vivid memories for Anne of an intense lost love story across the English Channel. Stars Susan Jameson.

Anne, now in her later years, recalls a chance meeting with a young French onion-seller named Michel.

She explains how this develops into a friendship and then a love affair over five summers (1956-1960) of intense meetings and long winters of letters.
