Apparently. Not easy to remember that one now that our Dad's are no longer with us. Just have to remember them quietly, but then I still do that every day. I often have little imaginary conversations with him, or wonder how he would react to different situations.
How interesting it would be to hear his views on the Birmingham 'Trojan Horse' situation. I remember, way back in the sixties when I was very young and extremely naive, that during a faintly humorous conversation about the meaning of the word 'fanatics' he gave us his view, quite passionately, that the greatest threat to World peace would come from 'Islamic Fanatics' (his choice of phrase) I couldn't make sense of what he was saying at the time, but decades later, it would appear that he really did know what he was talking about.
I miss him so much. His sense of humour, his twinkling eyes, the smell of his pipe tobacco, his passion for justice, his eloquence. What a mixed bag of memories. But when all's said and done, he was just my Dad!
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!
