I was very moved to receive so many lovely messages from my friends at Scribblers expressing sympathy and comfort following the tragic death of my lovely wife Joan; they were a great comfort at a time when I most needed it.
I decided from the outset that I would not inflict my sorrow on my friends but hang on to my sense of humour. Joan always said it was my best feature, I didn't have many others, so don't expect gloomy faces from me. I don't think I would know how to make one anyway.
Thank you for all your cards and kind words, some of them from the most unexpected sources, you have my sincere gratitude.
Keep dribbling,
Les.
