Gud is what all my grandchildren call me. It came about when my firstborn grandson started to talk. He couldnt say Granddad. All that came out was Gud and it stuck.
About the author
I am sixty six years old and have been retired for nearly seven years. I was a mechanical engineer in Sugar Mills and later included civil engineering in my job by looking after the mill tramline system, associated bridges, and equipment. I have been married to my wonderful Dutch-born wife, Gerdi, for nearly forty-five years. We have three children, one girl, aged 43, and two boys, aged 40 and 36. They have given us six beautiful grandchildren aged between 21 and 6.We see them often as they all live close by our house. I love fishing, reading crosswords, and lawn bowls. I also love food and beer but drinking dry white wine is my favorite way of relaxing. I used to write a lot of Australian bush poetry, my family and friends being the comical subjects. A mate who recently retired, became my subject, so everyone got a laugh out of the poem I wrote for the occasion.
