My Dad has always supported and encouraged me and accepted me whatever choices I have made in life. I remember an occasion when I was at 6th form and experimenting with my appearance..... I shaved my head without telling anyone before hand. Ian can to collect me from Colchester that evening as previously arranged and saw my shaved head for the first time. He looked at me with a little glint in his eye and said "change of hairstyle then?" then carried on as normal.
