whatever she sets out to do
she always achieves it,
she's a bit like her mother,
her mother was like that,
didn't make a lot of fuss,
just did things.
I love this time of the year
with the Autumn coming.
These are my mum's blossom trees
that we planted.
They look a bit dead now.
These were the ones that we
planted on her,
the anniversary, two year anniversary
of her passing.
I wanted something here
that I could come to and chat to.
- And do you do that?
- Yeah I do, a lot.
I come and ask her why
we can't fix our um,
the wheel nuts on our pit stops
and pray to her that
she might help the guys in R&D
that have been working
so hard on them.
Right.
I've got a whole box of
press clippings in there
from when I was made
Deputy Team Principal.
I thought I would frame them
and put them up
and be all proud of myself, but now
they've just ended up in the shed.
This is a lovely picture
from when we won
the race in Barcelona with Pastor.
Was this the last time
you won a race?
Last time we won a race,
Barcelona 2012.
So there's another picture of dad,
someone sent that to me,
it's amazing, him lifting two wheel nuts,
how buff was my dad? It's amazing.
It's was phenomenal how fit he
was before his accident.
Oh this is an awful article that came out
when mum did an extract from her book.
After the accident,
I think Ginny was
on the edge of a nervous breakdown
and she found communication,
on an emotional level,
very difficult with Frank,
Frank didn't do emotion
and she perhaps felt that
a book might be one way of
getting the story across to him.
"I'm not usually given
to making New Year's resolutions"
but at the end of 1988 I decided that
I would spend the following year
setting down everything
that has happened to Frank and me
