Today would have been my father Peter's 60th birthday.

But he died of #Covid19 last year. So, the big celebration we'd have had is never going to happen. And that'll always be painful.

However, the best possible tribute is to share more tales of his adventures

As landlord of a valley pub, Dad, a gregarious larger-than-life sort, was always putting on community fundraising events with the guys from the bar. They were often sporting events, usually rugby, but one time it was a charity tug of war match.

It took place by the nearby river, next to the (now disused) railway track. Dad and all his mates from the bar on one team, a load of guys from a 'rival' pub on the other. The river between the two teams, so whoever loses gets dragged into the river and soaked. What larks.
