When Johnny Morris was 26, he fell in love with a fashion model, Eileen Monro, who, separated from her husband, had been evacuated to Wiltshire in 1942 with her two small children.
Morris, still working as a farm manager, looking after 600 cows and 2,000 pigs for £2.50 a week, brought her vegetables from the farm and determinedly wooed her, even though she was 10 years older and much taller than he was.
In the late 1990s, Morris went into partnership with his step-grandson, Claude Monro, in the Pelican, a popular pub in Hungerford, and was disappointed when the venture collapsed.
