I expect many of you may have heard by now but I’m sorry to have to tell you that Mike passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon after a short illness. On top of all the other problems he has endured the past few years it was just too much for him.
The end of an era .

I have so many already. A small donation to your local food bank would make him and me happy. H .
Going to have to go to bed now, the whippets are pushing me off the sofa. It has been lovely reading all your tributes. I will try and catch up with them again tomorrow.
