Funeral

Today was the funeral of Tasha's grandad, Geoffrey Colin Dyer. He was a very intelligent, witty and musical man. He loved to travel and after retirement, he went on many cruises and became good friends with Richard Baker, the newsreader with their common love of music. In the war he used to write the music for Jimmy Edwards sketch shows.

The occasion went as well as could be expected.

Pearson in typical fashion, hadn't told anyone about todays arrangements, so found myself rejecting mobile calls from the office during the day.

Back down to Winchester tomorrow.

Have managed to pull a few strings and arranged for baby sitters for the show week. Tasha wasn't happy about me making the journey every day (and to tell you the truth neither was I).
