A DIFFICULT TIME

Suddenly but peacefully my beloved, generous and inspirational father passed away last week. His loss has come as a huge shock to all his family, friends, former colleagues and acquaintances from across the broad spectrum of his many interests.

We have all been deeply touched by the many warm and heartfelt expressions of sympathy and the flowers received add hope to a sombre household.

Mum has amazed us all with her strength and composure in the face of the loss of a husband and partner of nearly 60 years.

We celebrate his life on Friday the 27th of September with a simple humanist service for close family only but would ask that you spare us a thought mid-afternoon.

My extended adventures are on indefinite hold for the forseeable future but Mum is already insisting that I should get back on the road from time to time.

Thus bear with me if posts become less frequent for a while and click the link below for a piece of music - the words to which form part of my personal tribute to a wonderful man.
