Cheers, Tim! A marvellous man - a marvellous actor, husband, father, friend. On stage, on screen, on a canal boat, on the end of a pier (he loved a seaside pier!), in the garden with a glass of wine, he was just the best. He has died at 90: what a worthwhile, well-filled life.
Janey Godley - @JaneyGodley - an unlikely friend but a real one. A lovely funny daring & delightful person - who rose to life’s challenges in magnificent style. She was very special - she showed us how to live & taught us how to die, with courage & kindness & laughter.

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔
