The first two days of our stay were mostly spent at the funeral rites of our dear friend Ken Breeding. The picture above was taken at Picnic with the Pops last summer.
His death came as a terrible shock to all and we're all still trying to come to grips with it. However, we tried to give him a good send off culminating in a party where the Toll House Jazz Band played in his memory.
Ken and Julie were our companions on our famous 1993 narrow-boat trip, on many evenings at home or out on the town, and on various excursions and adventures. The picture below was taken at a dinner party in our old house in Columbus. My mum and twin aunties were visiting at the time and we had a very convivial evening with them, the Breedings and the Rayners.
We're going to miss you terribly, Ken.
