When I was a child, Uncle Peter was a mystery man - here for a time and then away again on what seemed to me amazing adventures on boats. I can always see him in his chair in later years, doing the crossword, and hear his wry humour. I treasure the key he made for my 21st, courtesy of Her Majesty's dockyards! We'll always think of him when we play Noughts and Crosses on one of the small sets he made. Calm sailing Uncle Peter. Leanne, Dugald and Aroha
