….and be assured that there will be occasion to celebrate John’s life where everyone will be welcome to come along,hopefully at a theatre in London in the Spring next year.Rather than sending flowers,any donations to John’s chosen animal charities would be much appreciated…..

My thanks to Lottie and Arthur for fixing John’s headstone in place. It was two hours hard work as the ground was frozen but I think it looks very smart.Plant some spring bulbs all over and I’ll have followed instructions to the letter!!
