This story follows the lives of Albert and Gillian through war, peace and retirement, from 1939 to 2013. Albert is a chatty Birmingham bus conductor when he is called up to military service in 1939. Seven years later, aboard a troop ship returning home, Albert takes time to reflect upon his survival. Post-war life with wife Gillian, though difficult due to lack of resources, is happy. As the decades pass, we see Albert and Gillian struggle to understand the new age while enjoying the peace they had yearned for in the war time years. National events, such as the threat of nuclear war, casts a shadow over that hard won peace.
