Memories

Starting a new year without a dad is a bit strange, but I have such a lot of very happy memories of him. 

His funeral isn't until next week, but today the bell ringers at my parents' church decided to ring a Quarter Peal of Grandsire Doubles in recognition of his time as a bell ringer and his help maintaining the bells.  A wonderful and touching gesture, we are all as proud as Punch.  Dad would have loved it!  

I've always known this photo of him and me, but until I uploaded it onto here, I've never noticed Dad's cigarette before!  Things were very different in 1959!
