maureensadoll: MO & CYN’S FRIENDSHIP - 1963-1994 [Far from being a shy little thing, Maureen was talkative, full of laughter and great fun : we liked her enormously and thought she was good for Ringo] [All of the Beatles’ women got on with each other, but Maureen, who was one of the most down-to-earth, honest people I ever knew, became my closest friend. After their son Zak was born, she and I used to go up to Knightsbridge to shop, then stop for lunch in a smart little bistro. We’d buy cute little outfits for our sons and we were always on the lookout for something different or special for the men. We loved to surprise them with a psychedelic shirt or a piece of ethnic jewellery. John always loved prezzies, as he called them. No matter how small they were, he’d be delighted.] [We often went over to their house and hung out with them, it was always party time at the Starkeys. Ringo was gregarious and fun-loving, a clown and a joker with an infectious laugh. Together, he and Maureen made an irresistible double act, both extrovert and uninhibited. Ringo and John would race the go-karts or play pool while Maureen and I chatted over a cup of tea or took Zak and Julian for a walk.] -- source link
