Ah, Dads over on The Gallery this week. And knowing this was the theme for this week I took a photo specifically for it (I don’t normally do that, I prefer to hunt through the old ones).
That is my dad. I am the only person who gets to call him dad, you can call him Neil. If you are the teens you call him Pom Pom (C couldn’t say grandpa when she was little, it came out as Grompom) or Pompadilious.
My dad with one of the other women in his life, Gracie the Aston Martin DB6. Gracie is his new other woman to go with Beastie who is a red head and a slightly older model (she is 1947, Gracie is 1968). Of course THE woman in his life is my mum who you saw last week when it was inspirational women.
They have been married for over 40 years, when many said it wouldn’t last.
One of the hardest working people I know (from the age of 13) and the very definition of “Self Made”.
Here’s to you, Dad!
Wow, not sure I can handle the fame of being on your blog. I’m flattered and humbled by the eulogy. Much love, Dad
Haha… behave.
Have a lovely day
He looks very youthful and suave. Is he as much of a handful as he looks, leaning on that sporty number?
Brilliant. A great post and photograph and great comments afterwards.
Aww what a lovely post. x
Lovely post, he sounds like a cool dad! And what a gorgeous gorgeous car! 🙂
Well he was at school with the Who so it beyond all kinds of cool
What a great accolade to your dad (and mum)…married for 40 years..there aren’t many of those kind of marriages around these days. Wonderful car!
There aren’t are there? Only bettered by Mr B’s folks who have recently celebrated their 50th!
I can understand his love of Gracie! He looks very proud of his “other woman” !
About as proud as my mum is of her too!
Oh how glorious that he left a comment too!
I must admit, that did make me smile.
What a really lovely post and fantastic picture 🙂
Thank you so much!
Love the picture. Looks very natural. Gracie is incredibly beautiful too!
Thank you! She is pretty, isnt it she? Dad’s not so bad, either 🙂
Lovely post, I must say I have very much fallen in love with Gracie and of course your dad looks great too!! x
