Ali engaged with the whole room, whether you came to support him or the competitor, he won you over. Ali ruled the room. He danced around the ring playing with the other boxer. Tiring the opponent out without even throwing a punch. Then when the punch did connect the other boxer would wobble and fall to the floor with a thud.

Of course his last and longest fight was with Parkinsons Disease.
Muhammad Ali died on 3 June 2016 at the age of 74years after battling a respiratory infection and Parkinson's disease.
My heart goes out to his family that is left behind he has left a big void in their lives, but so many memories.
Now just to lift the mood a little,
Tony and I went to Junction 32 on Thursday. While we were there I took some photo's.
Because it is school half term they had a "farm petting corner" for the children.
There were chickens, bunnies, a pony, 2 pigs, a goat, a donkey, a calf, 2 sheep and 2 llamas.
I didn't get pictures of all of them. There were too many children and parents about, so getting pictures without children was difficult.

Until the next time...
