A sixty-three-year-old fitness fanatic who struggles to find time, even in retirement to fulfil all his loves in life: motorcycles, his wife, his dog, camping, Everton football club, running, cycling, weights, four children, five grandchildren and travel (not in any order). He is also a carer for his eighty-seven-year-old mum who can still walk ten miles a week. They balance both their times caring for his terminally ill sister, who has Down's syndrome. He likes to look good in both his physique and appearance, and to this end buys designer clothes when treating himself and his wife. He has a German family from his Army days who he loves to visit, when finances allow. His dog (Star) of seventeen years, has sadly crossed the "rainbow bridge" during the editing of this book.
