We are approaching year's end, with all the excitement and anticipation of Christmas and thoughts of what may face us in 2013. So much has happened to me in 2012, including the loss of my father Geoffrey and two exceptional friends; Jane in May and Beth in November. I knew Jane for 23 years, Beth for just 4 years and their friendships meant, and will always mean, so much to me. The people we know as friends shape our lives in ways that are both subtle and profound. So I take you forward with me Beth and Jane, and Dad too, having learnt so many valuable and worthy things from each of you.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
