Before they were grandparents, they were causing a racquet.
Tennis has been a long standing tradition for my family. Lessons, coaching, doubles, singles - we do it all and we can thank my grandfather for this familial passion. He had never picked up a racquet until his 22nd birthday in 1943, but after one game he said he felt like he had played for a lifetime.

Before they were grandparents, they were casting a line.
My grandfather, Alan, was a simple man who cared for the simple things in life. He raised his family in a rural setting, teaching my father what he felt were basic life skills. This included fishing, but my father always told me that fishing, above all others “chores”, was my grandfather’s favourite. I inherited a love for this sport from my dad, and have since passed it on to my children.
