Remembering (Grandad) Peter. A true gentlemen who lived a long and happy life, alongside his beloved Joy.

We will miss his good humour, his kindness and generosity - and will always remember him dearly for the wonderful man he was.

There are a few teachers I remember from my child hood with fondness. Mr Appleby is one of those. A wonderful teacher, strict but fair.
My condolences to his family
