It was nice to re-read your father's history. I'm sure your trek made you think about him a lot and miss him so very much. I miss my dad a lot, too. I think those older father's really dote on their baby daughters. Another little commonality...my parents had a big garden in the backyard and strawberries were one of the things they grew. They were small but sweet. I think the arid desert soil didn't give them enough nutrients to grow big and plump.madretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476635723827784265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-453653681741734612011-06-23T16:39:21.011-04:002011-06-23T16:39:21.011-04:00This is one beautiful tribute to your Dad.

As you will no doubt remember Woolacombe is only a stones throw from Coombe Martin and we are frequently over there. Would you like us to track down the place that your Dad built and take some up to date photos for you? Also any other particular spots or memorable places that you would like to see the up to date picture of. If you would like me to do this then perhaps you could send me an email with details...my email address is: somesaddlesoap@hotmail.com<br />Regards, ann.ann @ studiohydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615115294267727281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-69036482501838783172011-06-20T12:07:57.440-04:002011-06-20T12:07:57.440-04:00Great story Mum.
