Here i am back

 

Hello Blog followers that doesn't sound right i should say friends

I once said that I hadn't posted for a while because of Covid etc but sadly that was wrong.

I stopped posting because I have family members who where trying to make my life difficult. So it was easy not to post but that was not the answer but it is still happening to this day. The last comment even included my Family name I have been Peterfc since about the age of 15. I used to buy Dylan, the Stones and Jimi Hendrix LP’s and sign the back Peterfc and I still 57 years later still have those LP’s.

My surname is mine I am to those who know me Peterfc. I have been contacted by a nice Guy on Britishexpats that he noticed I hadn’t posted on my Blog or Britishexpats well below are some of the reasons.

It's about time I made a few comments.

First when i mention family i mean my sons and daughters and grandchildren and not my siblings.

About 55 years ago my Grandad took out a handkerchief that he had in WW1 he had his handkerchief In his breast pocket. Inside his handkerchief was a pocket knife, a sniper shot him is the heart. Thankfully he had his handkerchief in his breast pocket and the knife stopped the bullet.

My Grandad let me look at the knife and he said one day my Dad would give me the knife. I waited for almost a lifetime only to find out that a younger sister took the knife knowing it was to come to me.

On my various trips back to the UK I saw many items had been taken out of the family home STOLEN.

My Dad had two commemorative plates that where displayed on the walls in the house. One sister took both commemorative plates. On the plates are the shields for the regiments that served in North Africa my Dad proudly served in North Africa he was a Dessert Rat. There where three sister and two brothers and she took both.

My Mum used to give me a cheque for £100 not one of the cheques was ever cashed all put on my fire when I got home. One sister  criticised me about the cheques but she asked for about £7,000 from my Dad so she could by a house. This came after Mum and Dad sold there house back to the council and for once in there life they had some money. Money to see them through there retirement.

One family member came to visit Mum when a football team played at home.

OK what about me living in the sun I traveled back to the UK between 3 to 4 times each year. These trips stopped towards the end of 2019 and I have only traveled once since then. My last trip lasted for only three days but I got to see my family and grandchildren.

However I am trying to make a point and explain why I haven't posted for the last three months. I do miss not posting on my Blog, this Blog was so my children and grandchildren could see what I was doing in my new life. From the UK to Afghanistan Nigeria and Iraq my family have missed a lot.

So my Blog is mine and I am back nobody is going to make me feel bad even the bossy bitch.
