In the early days of walking with David, Margaret and Simon we seemed to be fated with bad weather (see the photo in the snow). One Father's Day we sheltered under a large rock while David cooked bacon on his camping stove and Simon gave him his present - a pair of Father's Day socks. On another occasion we sat by a lake and watched the almost horizontal sleet. Weather aside David planned so many walks for us and nearly always included a stop at a good cafe for tea or coffee and cake or scones.

We've been so lucky to share special times with David - Simon and Christina's wedding, Simon's christening (photo of David with Margaret and Simon), holidays in Portmerion (photo of David and Val geared up for the zip-wire) and HPB trips.

David was a very special person with many interests but also a very loving and caring side which we had the privilege to experience.
