Phil's Birthday

 

My friend of 60 years Phil got married just a week ago to Iris . (He died last Sunday ) . 

Today was Phil's Birthday . We went out to mark this tonight. around Halifax with Phil's son Bryn ( my Godson) & 2 cousins & Marc & Ken . 

I love taking photos , but thought it would be "disrespectful" tonight to take any snaps . Then up pops the Landlord of The Royal Oak in Halifax , just before I left , asking to take a photo for the pub's facebook page....... Which is all a bit ironic as Phil thought facebook was bollocks!

Phil died early in the morning of Sunday 17th March at home with his Wife Iris by his side.

True Love Ways

 

They Have been Partners for 20 years and today Phil & Iris got married in Halifax. 

"Love " is a much overused word .

This is what True Love actually looks like

Last Orders

Me, Martin , Hydn & Phil in Manchester in 2022

 

Sadly Phil recieved the news ( late Friday 8th March ) that his Cancer was now aggressive and "all"  that can be offered is Palliative Care.

 My brother Ziggy seems to be mending slowly . 

Huffy tells me that Hydn's pancreatic cancer is also agressive and he has only only been given 6 months. Huffy wants us to meet up for a "last drink" in Rochdale soon .Which will be both strange and moving 

.I doubt there will be photos.......

Or George Galloway..who knows

As Promised Don I'm back ! 

My  abstinence was not intentional !

So.... pics of the gig at Bury Met will have to wait until next week. 

Plus  soon I promise to share a Retrospective of some of my photos from the last missing 6 months;

So...This week:My Brother is out of hospital now but still very weak

Phil has been in hospital again this week and will see the Doc on Monday ( fingers crossed )
