My Dad!

Last weekend my Dad and a very old friend of the family (old as in time of aquaintance rather than actual age of said person) came to stay for the weekend in Brussels. It still amazes me that an 81 year old with 2 artificial hips and a pacemaker can make the journey from deep darkest South Shields to damp dark Brussels. Anyway, he has just recently aquired the taste for Belgium beer ... hmmmm ... beer! This is him sitting in a small bar in Mechelen contemplating life. (BTW, all photos are taken with my mobile phone so no comments please). They had a wonderful time here and even managed to see a gig of mine (sorry Andy). It was the first time he has seen me play guitar and sing (at the same time), he grunted in a manner which I believe was of a positive comment so good news there then.

The next time I will see him is at my Wedding in May where I will be performing again .... might play well enough to get 2 grunts ... you never know!
