Last week I posted a picture of my old Dad, the original John Gray, a Labour Councillor and trade union activist. Since then I have been asked about my Mum and also her contribution to my politics and who I am.
My Mum is a “Matthews”, born in Denbigh, North Wales, and was brought up with 7 brothers and sisters in a Council flat overlooking the town. She still lives in Denbigh and is a committed lifelong supporter of Labour.
The picture is of Mum with my little sister, Lucy, at a Pontin’s holiday camp in the early 1970’s.
I love this picture.
Of course I will never, ever, tease my now grown up little sister about it:)
