My dad hardly "goes out " anymore.
He's 83,every week his club goes somewhere detecting but summert always crops up and he doesn't go.
I work most weekends apart from taking holidays for City and he has basically taken my son for his sunday football games for quite a few years now,so thats stopped him going out too.
I'd love it for him, to find something really important one last time,here's hoping.
