for a joyous time of year, it is always also a sad time, when one does reflect on those passed on, mums, dads relatives and friends.
I like to think that when we are all feasting our faces and downing alcohol in copious amounts, we can all spare a thought for those who have been bereaved especially at this time of year.
and may I just all a little RIP here myself.
I heard yesterday that an old friend of mine called Cedric, who had led a very active life until being struck down with illnesses some years ago, died a few days ago.....he was and had been a member of both model boat clubs in Fleetwood for some time, and although I didn't see him often, I now wish I had, he always had a good yarn to tell. and even though virtually blind from Diabetes, he could still make a mean old model
For anyone on here who knew him, from the Fleetwood clubs, his funeral is next Thursday in Darwen, Lancashire.
god bless him, he was a decent one.
neil.
