Find out more about his life and legacy via our link in bio. "Husbands to duty, they unrolled their plans across billiard tables and vehicle bonnets, regrouped at breakfast. What their secrets were was everyone’s guess and nobody’s business. Great-grandfathers from birth, in time they became both inner core and outer case in a family heirloom of nesting dolls."Like evidence of early man their boot-prints stand in the hardened earth of rose-beds and borders.
"The major oaks in the wood start tuning up and skies to come will deliver their tributes. But for now, a cold April’s closing moments parachute slowly home, so by mid-afternoon snow is recast as seed heads and thistledown."Philip died aged 99 on Friday 9 April 2021.
