Married Anne Travers (A&E Sister) 1973. 4 Children. Emma, Ex RBS, lives in Seamill with partner Ewanie (Wedding's in August) and their 2 Kids - Catriona,4 and Ewan, almost 2. We're typical doting grandparents. Giulia, also in Seamill, is a home/special needs carer with an agency.  She's a great help with Chris. Peter - one time barman, potato peeler, cook but still bass player in a rock band is now back home - studying Hospitality Management.  Christopher has always been at home.  Physical disabilities require 24 hour care. We get some help. He attends a day centre. He can use a P.C., Wii and X-Box. Football daft.  I take him regularly to Morton and Celtic.
My Hobbies- Grandchildren, Curling (reasonable), golf (erratic), gardening (the voracious village deer appreciate) and Food (cooking and eating). Such is life - little scope for travel.  The odd mini-break.  A cruise would be the Ferry to Millport.
