Featured in the Millfield newsletter - revisiting his old school for the afternoon tea party 2003
For me, a very precious photo. Mum knitted her top but more importantly, the tent they camped in on their vacations, Julie and I also had in our lives :-
Was so proud of my dad and his work ethic. A true achiever. On the odd occasion that mum didn't walk my pony so I could ride home from school, Dad arrived all suited and smart.
Dad never once tried to stop me from riding pillion on Paul's Blackbird Beast. We even trod where he and mum once went, even staying in the same hotel in The Isle Of Man for the TT!!
Without Covid and all it has caused, I would not have learned so much about my dad. This picture is of dad and 'Homer'. He was owner, breeder, and exhibitor of many successful bloodhounds, at home and abroad.
My father-in-law Colin Lewis was first and foremost a husband and a father. Everything else was always of secondary importance. It was a pleasure and a privilege to know a man so utterly devoted to those he loved. Rest in peace my friend.
