From the terrace of Henbury Golf Club, his \"clearing\" of 38 years, John traces a full and generous life: a strict, loving mother who called her children \"the jewels in her crown of life\"; a working life that ran from PE teacher to trusted financial adviser across 42 years; and the firm he built and has since passed to his sons, Dave and Andrew. He pays a moving tribute to his brother Bobby, who lived with Down's syndrome and, in John's words, was \"a totally fulfilled human being.\" He celebrates a lifetime of music — from Elton John and George Michael to a deep love of Lindisfarne — and reflects, with real emotion, on a family that sticks together in the face of loss. Warm, funny and deeply human.
