He greatly enjoyed his holidays and traveled extensively throughout Europe, Greek Islands, Cyprus and the Spanish islands.
Jacqueline and Colin also loved animals, with much loved and pampered dogs and cats treated as part of the family. Casper the pampered family cat was treated like a king and has continued his reign with Tracy and Ronnie and his much loved Tess the energetic Spaniel accompanied him on his many  fishing trips. Colin was a passionate fisherman and loved the solitary aspect of the sport.
