Here's a pic of Uncle Billy at a party on my daughter, Fiona's terrace (back to camera). On his left is Clinton McFarland of an old Lucknow family. My younger daughter, Faye, is married to his son Craig.
Time has passed so fast I cannot remember whether it's three years of Billy's passing or more? We had got used to seeing him for a few days every year. The last trip he made to Gorakhpur he didn't stop over at Lucknow owing to his impaired movement and us living on the first floor.
Billy's dad died in Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh) where he had settled after his retirement from the police. Billy had settled in UK but spent much of the last 20-odd years in India. He shared an affinity with India, the country of his birth, and loved speaking the language, depending heavily on Urdu.
