The saddest Christmas here, the first without either of you, never dreamt I wouldn't be spending it with mum, but comforted by the thought that you both will be spending Christmas together and with our much missed nans, aunties, uncles.
I'll be thinking of you Christmas Day, just like any day really, stop by for a mince pie, just flash the tree lights, I'll know you're here....

Yesterday the toughest of all the visits as mum was not by my side, but comforted because she will now be forever by your side.

Dad's bike
Dad always use to cycle to work just as I do myself, and having now reached the age of (nearly) 54, I can understand why he moved on to a moped in the early 80s when he was around my current age (the muscles recover more slowly these days lol)
Dad later passed his driving test again (having driven before I was born) and left the moped behind for a car. But here's a photo of Dad with his moped at his workplace at Wrightsons in Alperton.
