#People: Happy Fathers Day Dad.

My whole family is allergic to social media so this as good as it gets frankly! God only knows where I came from.

Well, or eating dinner 
in Llangefni. 

If you’ve followed me for long you’ll know my Dad is a very important part of my life, as is a man I never knew because he died long before I was born, my Granddad. My life is what it is because of Grandad and Dad, and it’s nice to feel connected to Grandad in that way. So thanks Dad. Thanks for being the remarkable Dad you’ve been. And Thanks Grandad for being the amazing Dad you so clearly were to Dad. A Dad so good his son followed him in his tracks, as ultimately his grandchildren he never knew did. Dad got me my first truck job, at Nolan’s. Then my second on agency. Then I ended up at HSF and he followed, then Virginia and he followed there too as my brother did. And finally my last job, hopefully not final last (?!) on the milk. I still sometimes go for a spin with him and we’ve followed each other from job to job for 20years.

So as I’ve said before if you’re a Dad and you worry about being away from your family, don’t. Just make when you are there the very best it can be.

Youthful Dad. Though he’s always young to me

#ThrowbackThursday; Where It All Began….

 #ThrowbackThursday - So if you’ve followed me for long you will already know I’ve had a rather ridiculous career working for every man and his dog, driving everything from vans to rigids to artics to drawbars to buses and coaches. I’m really proud of my bonkers career, it’s been absolutely amazing! But, my driving career didn’t start on the road, it started on a landfill, in a Moxy! For pretty my whole childhood Dad was a mechanic who drove on the side. I used to spend lots of time with him, going away in lorries or spending the weekend with him in the workshop. One job he had was for a local plant hire company and this was one of the best as back in those days when no one really cared much about H&S, I got to drive and play with machines in the yard. It got to point where I could lift engines and axles etc with pinpoint precision with the mini digger, helping Pops. Can’t dig a hole to save my life tho! One day one of the bosses saw me gently lifting the engine back into a Mox...
