In the first half of 2000 work was getting onerous and less enjoyable and I was beginning to lose my enthusiasm for working for a company (Onyx UK) that was financed by public taxes but was providing an ever deteriorating level of service. I had a new boss who I didn’t get on with and I needed a holiday so at the beginning of June I went to the Ionian island of Kefalonia with mum and dad and son Jonathan.
As it happened it turned out to be the last time that I went away with dad because he became too ill to travel soon after that.

The story about your Dad and the ring made me realise where you get your thriftiness from, Andrew. Memories, hey?

He didn’t like unnecessary expenditure for sure.

We had a spontaneous week in Kefalonia in 2003 memorable for being delayed for 2 hours at Birmingham airport because the pilot wasn’t happy and they decided eventually to change a wheel. Meanwhile all passengers had to stay on board in a very stuffy plane. Fiskardo was a favourite of ours, but we stayed in the far south in a very small hotel a short walk to Kato Katelios.
