Happy Christmas mum and dad.
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....

sending love to you both this Christmas xxxx

Hi dad, 10 years gone in the blink of an eye, miss you today as much as that first day you left.
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.
I wish you all the happy times together in eternity that you shared together down here.
I will see you in my thoughts and be up to see you again soon...miss you both loads xxxx

So it's over to you dad to take care of her up there as you always did down here. I hope I did ok for the last 10 years dad.
Pop by occasionally both of you, I know you'll both be watching over us.
Until we meet again, love you both x

I only knew Les for a short time but he still made an impression on my life and left me with memories to treasure.
He was a very gallant man to face such an adversary ,and though he lost the fight, he faced it with dignity and courage.
My heart and love go out to his family and i share in their grief

Dad's bike

September 6, 2017

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.
