A good friend of mine wrote a lovely post – Lest We Forget in honour of Anzac day and her grandfather, and I thought that I would too.
This is in memory of my grandfather, Sir Andrew McKee – a determined man who fought hard, and lived hard. While I will always miss you – I only wish I could’ve known you better.

Hi Leigh. Your grandfather Sir Andrew was a wonderful man; I have such fond memories of him and Lady McKee. I spent much time with them as I grew up as your mother Cecelia and I were the best of friends. Although we have lost touch over the years I hope we can catch up.
