It is the little things that make you cry.

Five years ago Dad had a stroke that has left him in a wheelchair. During the weeks that he spent flat on his back in the Astley Ainslie I tried reading to him from Treasure Island.

'Do you want me to read a bit more Dad?'

'Let's get on board the Hispaniola' said he.

I've never even been in this pub to be standing outside crying.
