The life and times of Tony Ford, a life less ordinary. Raised by his grandparents with Victorian standards in the 1970’s Ports, Posts and Parkinson’s chronicles the ups and many downs of a person never far from adversity, telling of the frustrations of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, depression and a marriage breakdown and all after 34 years’ service in The Royal Navy. Brutally honest and pulling no punches and laced with black humour the underlying message is one of never giving up on life however tough it gets.
