Story
The first time we met would have been when we were both 8 years old at our primary school in Oswestry in 1998. We are unsure if we actually ever had any conversations at this point but it was an important link between us.
Fast-forward to 2008 it was the 600th year anniversary for Oswestry school, Tristan was head boy and Hannah-May was asked to come back and sing for the anniversary concert. We got to talking about a Global Young Leaders Conference we had both been on (2 weeks apart) in 2006. We then went for coffee the next day (of which Han has no recollection....), and Tristan didn't manage to get the words "can I have your phone number" out. Instead we added each other on social media.
We could lie and say we didn't think about each other AT ALL for the next 11 years, but I think we would both admit to looking at each other's instagram once in a while.......
It's now 2019, Han wants some financial advice and remembers some guy she kinda knows who might be able to help, we go for a 'work dinner' and end up chatting for about 4 hrs. The rest is basically history- from T flying around the world multiple times to visit Han in Australia, to dealing with lockdown life together in Chester.
Let the next amazing adventure begin.
