Dear Lucy, I'm still trying to process this sadness. The search was for some possible news.... after many years. It cannot be possible. Memories flood back.. I was maybe 23 or 24 and I was about to return to London and Sheelagh stopped me and asked me to take some more time to get to know Winchester, I was totally charmed by her and lived in "Badger farm" for a while with you and your mother, you probably don't remember me.
Your mother was a storm, a hurricane of energy and feelings in my young life. I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling... It took me years to stop missing her when I returned to London.
A big hug from someone who met you in Winchester 🧡
