    I am very grateful for the childhood we had growing up within a big family. Uncle Tex and Aunty May have always been a big part of that. Staying up playing while the All Blacks played in the early hours of the morning and our wee school piling into the lounge to watch the Commonwealth Games on a colour TV. Yip, uncle had the first colour Tv 😊 never a cross word, always a cheeky smile and a chat. Uncle Tex we will you. Can you tell Aunty Mae I’m missing the black sauce. Rae and whanau always here for you xx
