Proud parents with little Andy! 1964

Sarah, Trisha with Andy and Jo Mackin, Probably on one of our Morgan Porth
holidays (cornwall) 1968

‘This is how long I have known Andy’, says Jo Mackin, ‘I’m the baby its my christening!’
and there he is in the photo.

Andy aged 6: He had the ears as well as the nose!

Even on camp trips, Andy didn’t miss out on his coffee

I spent most of my Easter holidays with Andy one way or another while
growing up. Youth hosteling or later cottages. This one is probably
“Black Andrews” Scotland 1982? If it was then there was a stream at
the bottom of the hill. It was deeper than Andy’s boots! (Jo Mackin)

A classic early memory of the “camping friends’ We walked and stopped
for lunch and picnicked often in line like this. Click in the photo to see more detail

Andy with Aunty Glad (Dad’s sister), Dad and Sandra, approx 1980

Teenage pest: Andy and Sue were always squabbling leaving Andy shattered and Sue reading up on coping strategies.

Aged 18 (honest?): Andy developed a taste for liquers to drink with his coffee.

Camping in 1984, is that a drink I see ..??!!

oct84 camping with the camping friends…

1984 again, of note for 2 reasons: he is not talking! and there is no beer gut!
