Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if anyone has seen a message from Derekm’s daughter today? Derek sadly passed away in April this year. His daughter Kathy has left a message on his last posting.
He had COVID-19. How awful for him, he was a really nice chap and always posted lovely pictures of his garden.
Sending condolences and the best of thoughts to all of his family.

Thanks Kate I just picked up Kathym's message as you posted yours. He will be greatly missed. I have had some lovely pm's from him over the years.

Makes me realise how lucky I was with my dose of it.
