Colin was my brother, he was the only boy so was rather spoilt. He disagreed us on that, he said we bossed him, well it was 3 girls to one boy. We had lots of fun growing up, fishing, scrumping, hiking and picnicking. I smile when I remember those days. He even taught me how to jitter bug, what a laugh that was.

When I was small Grandma and Grandad used to look after me sometimes when mum and dad were at work. They used to take me to the park and put me on the swings. Grandad used to push me on the swing and when I swung towards him he would give me a chocolate button. Love you and miss you Grandad x

It was when we went to Ruddington railway, we went around looking at the trains and then went and had a ride on one of the trains with Grandad and he told me all about where we were going and about times that he drove the trains. It was a great day, I miss him.
