Whilst we were up visiting family, we called in on my cousin Peter. Unfortunately cancer has returned and it was emotional seeing him.

I've always know him to be a larger than life cousin as he is one of the biggest cousins. Has always been active and has always had a fun and active life. He took over my parent's restaurant down in Newton Aycliffe and then later opened one up in Whitley Bay and will be well known to many people in and outside of this circle.

He's always made time for me and gave me encouragement.
