Kathy Mclaughlan lives in Wimbledon. 

Now 99 years old, she talks to Mike Waddington about joining the Winton Players in 1948, and the productions she was part of up to 1957.

She remembers the founder, Joan Sare, with great affection and one of Winton's alumni, Edward Kelsey, who went on to fame in The Archers.

Quite probably the surviving member of the founders, Kathy remembers it all, recalled with great enthusiasm and excitement.

It was a classic case of love at first sight, the kind of whirlwind romance that sweeps you off your feet, bridging the gap between Ukrainian warmth and Spanish passion. But as any Brit who has ever traded a rainy afternoon for a summer in Madrid knows, holiday romances face a stark reality check when real life steps in. Beneath the sun-drenched facade of Spanish life, family ties don’t just run deep—they frequently overrun personal boundaries, turning what seemed like a dream partnership into a crowded house where three was always a crowd.
