'Forever Was Too Long. Part Two' continues the remarkable story of Alan Hodgkiss and his wife, Rita. Their lives have been anything but ordinary, marked by adventure, resilience, and an unwavering spirit of optimism.

Alan’s journey began in wartime Britain, where he grew up amidst the challenges and uncertainties of the era. Despite humble beginnings, his determination shaped the path he would later take alongside Rita, who also started life in the north of England, and shared Alan’s dreams of a better life.

Alan’s time in the military not only broadened his horizons but also instilled in him a sense of discipline and perseverance. These qualities would prove invaluable throughout his life’s prime endeavours. Driven by boundless optimism, Alan and Rita constantly sought contentment and happiness, irrespective of monetary loss; this philosophy and their happy-go-lucky attitudes inspired them to take on new challenges, regardless of any obstacles. Alan stressed his belief that there is always a cost to pay for most things and that includes what they both value the most – happiness.

Their shared determination and adventurous spirit enabled them to achieve their goals and live an extremely exciting and happy life together for over fifty years.
