"A stodgy parent is no fun at all. What a child wants and deserves is a parent who is sparky"

Danny has the most marvellous and exciting father anyone ever had. He can repair any car or machine that people bring to him, loves going on adventures with Danny and tells him incredible stories around the stove in the cozy caravan they call home.
