Dad to 5 grown-ups. 3 Grandchildren (one age 10 lives with us). We Foster one boy (10) and have fostered 14 Children in 10 years. Love camping and gardening and like to take my boys fishing when I can which is not very often now. Fishing used to be the retreat for the boys when they were younger and behaviour issues by Foster Children were making home a little tense. Fishing was also the emotional retreat for my eldest Son after being on tour with the Army twice and losing a friend.. Our garden too is bigger than the average garden and provides an escape from the house when the Xbox's, TV's and music get annoying (I used to think my Mum and Dad were old and annoying for not liking my music when I was younger. Now I know how they felt). So I don't like club dance music and avoid soaps on TV. I also stay away from reality TV and celebrity TV game shows. The garden is always a project in some form or another but always a great place to entertain family and friends. Fire pit, BBQ and pizza oven all washed down with a glass or two. We love music and good films. Film night with popcorn and goodies is always popular with the kids. Finding an age appropriate film isn't always that easy when some issues are delicate subjects but no longer classed as bad for young developing minds (particularly damaged minds). We go swimming and do a bit of exercise to keep the muscles and bones ready for the next challenge. I chopped two trees down recently with an axe. Boy do you feel it the next day. So exercise limits the damage felt when you need to do DIY or have a kick-about with the little ones. I drive a Local Authority 16-seat bus part-time taking children with severe disability to School. It's a school term job which frees me up when my Wife needs my input with our Grandson and Foster kids. Life's treated us well so we've got nothing to complain about. We live in a lovely village. Football fields, Norman Church and great neighbours.
