Diamond Anniversary Couple

Congratulations are in order today (25th September) for Derek & Megan McKelvey who are celebrating their Diamond (60th) Wedding Anniversay.

Derek and Megan successfully ran Williams Newsagents for an equally impressive 50+ years, a business that was started by Megan's great grandfather, Eli Williams. Megan was Audlem born & bred. Derek on the other hand, grew up in war damaged Salford, during & after the Blitz.

Megan & Derek met through their shared love of rock climbing, and hill walking, when the motorbike of Megan's friend Pat Stonelake (from Nantwich), broke down when hiking in the Lake District. They were rescued by one of Derek's rock climbing friends, who took them back to his house en route home.

Luckily at the same time, Derek just happened to be visiting, as he was home from leave from his National Service duties......and the rest, as they say, is history!
