I loved reading this and learning more about your wonderful dad, Fiona! My own trips back home involved trips in the summer down the coastal path to Waterfoot and Cushendall, where I have family. I was laughing at the description of 8 kids packed into the car. I have memories of my younger brother and cousin asleep in the boot under a duvet...crazy to think about from a H&S perspective...different times!

Different times indeed :) One time stopped by the Army and they wanted to look in the boot of my dad's Morris Traveller ... my little sister was asleep under our coats lol
