Jim and I were on honeymoon in The Bahamas in February 1965, which coincided with Ruth’s 5th birthday on 15th and George Harrison’s 22nd birthday on 25th, which we celebrated at a private home of one of their insider’s on the island. George had already become interested in Indian culture, music and philosophy, and each of the Beatles was given a book on the subject at his birthday party.

The German Chef at our hotel made a cake for Ruth, and he got the message slightly wrong when he iced it: “Happy Birthday Ruth, Jah, Jah, Jah”, but we all knew he meant “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.’
