Thank you, Jane, for being in my life for 43 years – for your friendship, your caring advice, your warm hospitality. You were my introduction to English Life:
Jane, the heart of 14 Dora Rd.
“Tea” for a half dozen children prepared by Jane in a tiny kitchen with a ginger cat curled up in the corner of the dining room.

· Ruth in red wellies running across Wimbledon Common with friend – wanting “sweeties.”

· Crispin and Clare getting ready for school on sunny autumn mornings with tales of exciting trips through Europe in the Bedford camper van.

· Peter coming home to happy chaos – Sherry before dinner often with friends, conversations about the news, religion, philosophy, travel.

· Listening to classical music together – Jane always sewing some item of children’s clothing.

· The peace of a suburban London – Wimbledon one of many “villages” within the city.

· Museums, exhibitions, concerts – nothing missed in a busy life.

You introduced me to Wales and the Brecon Beacons:

· Cottage filled with friends – lots of children, including my own

· Exploring woods, hills and coast

· Cooking together for large groups – nothing ever too much trouble.

· Pottery and making.

· Tales of sailing in Dale.

We shared our holiday
cottage in Polruan, Cornwall:

· Peter and Jane on the Hall Walk, the ferries, with sounds of the sea and sunsets.

· Laughter and good food and wine.

We joined you in Weymouth
and were Introduced to Dorset’s magical countryside.

· Peter’s garden and the peace of the stream.

· Enjoying the coast – Portland Bill, Chesil Beach.

· Fabulous meal at Quiddles Cafe.

· Walking around town and bird reserve.

There was so much to share
and learn from you. Treasured memories.Thank you, Jane.
