Tis the drink of champions tennents. Not a better tasting beverage out there 

I quite like Tennents when visiting the inlaws. Gives me a proper headache the day after though.

Sounds like a character does Captain Gordon. My dad was in the Navy and had a few tales but an entire career at sea is something else.

I enjoyed reading that, fantastic stuff.

real life tales are always more interesting than any fiction can produce.

you are right, an afternoon with a few pints listening to your dad would have been fascinating.

RIP Captain Michael Tennant Gordon

Thankyou everyone for showing an interest in Dad.

He was a gentleman , old style .

If you are lucky enough that your Dad is still around. Next time you see him. Give him a massive hug , even if its not what you would normally do .

And tell him you love him.

 

Just wish I could mate, just wish I could.

Best thoughts to @crawshawbooth& @embankment today for the Captain’s funeral.

I’ll raise a glass to the skipper tonight 

Thank you .

Everything went well.

Carried Dad in while a lone piper played Flower of Scotland. 

Minister - Was spot on with his words . ( credit to our kid for putting together 90% of the eulogy).

Military Wife's, -" sang Eternal Father strong to save"

Followed by 

Excellent poem about golfers on an eternal golf course. 

As we left . The Sky Boat song.

Yep - I brought Dads beloved Highlands to Howe Bridge.

And it even chucked it down, proper Scottish weather. 

Just had haggis and mash for tea .

 Mum is safe and sound back in THE fabulous care home where she lives.

 

Thanks again to everyone who expressed an interest.
