by The Harper Family
A couple of memories and things that remind us of Dad/Grandad from The Harpers:
- Being greeted with a “Whatcha/Wotcha”
- Mickey Mouse
- Buster Keaton
- Laurel and Hardy
- Andy Williams (singing Little green apples)
- Max Bygraves and singing his song “Gilly, Gilly Ossenfeffer Bogen by the Sea” on long car journeys
- Rick Astley
- Wine gums
- Sausages
- Ice cream
- Joke poo and cigarettes from the Hunstanton joke shop
- He was the most gentle lovely man. As a child, I would feel relief when Mum used to say “You wait until your Dad gets home“. He used to come up to my bedroom and say “pretend I have told you off” which used to upset me more than if he had! – Jackie
- Camber Sands
- Spending Summers in Somerset
- Him spending long periods of time sat in the loo with a book – King of the loo!
- “Remember the good times” – the last advice that Dad gave to Jackie.
