Simon and Edna Martin are all too aware people disapprove of their relationship.
There was the time a lady curled her lip as she passed them walking hand in hand along the seafront. And when Simon’s mother saw them enjoying “a wrap-around kiss” on the street, they say she swore.
The couple’s 40-year age gap stirs strong reactions. At 87, great-grandmother Edna is one year older than Simon’s mum. And at 47, Simon is 17 years younger than Edna’s daughter.
