Just over a month ago, on the 19th August, we invited an old school friend, Tony Hart and his wife, who were holidaying nearby, over for lunch. I have known him since we were five. He died suddenly this morning. Our thoughts are with Jenny his wife.
About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.

that's so sad about Tony... even in only meeting you could see he was a super guy and watching the two of you together was great fun and the closeness and shared experiences was there for all to see...
Great great shame

Thanks Kevin. That's very kind.
I couldn't help thinking today of his lovely lively mother and what a super old girl she was... strangely, I can't help thinking tht she really doesn't deserve this news, poor old girl. I almost feel worse for her than for Tony... at least he is now at rest, her grief will stay with her.
Live life to the full young man (like you need any encouragement) and treat every day as something special... take care, much love and our thoughts are with you and all of Tony's family.
