Hello to all my cousins

Hello to all my cousins,
My name is Ray I am the 3rd son of Edward [Ted] Johnson. I thought I would share with you all this picture of grandma, Dad seems to think it was taken on holiday but he doesn't know were. Sadly I only met grandma once or twice, the reason being I was brought up by my other grandma Daisy Cooper, and each time dad made the epic journey from wallasey to liverpool I may not have been around, You may see I have named all the johnson family shown in the picture further down the blog,as you will see I am not on that photo either, do you think they were trying to tell me somthing?
My dad is 87 now and still lives in wallasey with Barry my eldest brother, although dad has AMD he is fantastic and it is he who looks after Barry.
Dad is a member of 3 clubs and goes out every weekend with 2 woman and gets home about 1 am in the morning [I'm going to have to have a talk to him] by which time I have been in bed 3 hours.
I now take dad to see aunt Renee every 2 or 3 months which I think they both enjoy.
Last week I met Kate and Andy for the first time, and we had a good chat about Kate being a singer and myself being a professional drummer in a band for 20 years, all very interesting, I think I must have some of the dowling genes in me, and Kates son also in a band. Dad loves music, and every day when I visit him it's like walking into the Grafton as the music is so loud the first thing I do is turn it down.
Dads house is a very happy house, and people are always calling on him, and Even neighbours from long ago still call.
I live in birkenhead and have been married to Kath for about 35 years we have 2 children and 2 grand children.
If any one needs to contact me please contact Kate and she will give you my email address
I have just sent kate a lot of information about the dowlings in America which I feel sure she will put on this blog.
