When my son was born and I realised I was a mum.
When my children Suzy and Justin were small: I loved watching them grow up, helping and encouraging them.
Last week, lying under a hat on Folkestone beach.
With my late wife, Siân Busby, and our boys, Max and Simon, on assorted Welsh and English beaches, in sunshine and rain – especially when there was a Punch and Judy show on the prom.
Not having the people I love around me.
Bad timekeeping.
Happy memories.
