Goodbye Dad

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post.   My 97 year old father passed away in the early hours of 8th September 2025  following a fall in his backgarden on Friday which resulted in a massive bleeding on the brain from which Dad did not recover.   


Over the past week I have been looking back over many hundreds of photos of Dad taken with various family members and remembering all the wonderful family picnics and holidays that we had together over many years.  

Goodbye and thank you for being my Dad.
