Sitting at work and when the going gets tough comes on the radio... this takes me back to when I was just 13/14 years old and ironing Johns shirts and cleaning his guest house with this song blasting out from the CD player.
John was such a lovely man and always looked after me, going to miss him loads. Glad I've got good memories and photos from those good old days.
RIP John, you were an amazing man with a big heart xxxxxx

RIP Mate.
So many memories from the Macmillans days.
Everything from the busiest of nights to the quiet ones and heading off for a drink or a curry somewhere. The parties, New Year, the company of loads of great people from locals, visitors and celebs.
One hell of an experience. I could tell a different story every day for a few years.
Until we meet again.
Cheers John
