Ten things I remember about my dad
He called himself Joe
He smelled of cigars
Watching him dress up to go to the races
Flying kites
Knowing the answer to everything
Feeding the ducks in Hyde Park
His love of Gloria Gaynor, Kenny Rogers and the blonde one from Abba
Growing roses and tomatoes in our window box
Holding my hand in Holland Park
Happy Father’s Day!
