David on urg "I like to well and truly kill a plant three times before

giving up on it".



And Sacha will like to be reminded that when she took the urglers around

Hill House, David looked in to one of the greenhouses and said to me

:Now, that's what a greenhouse *should* look like!"

No you weren't - the main group had gone on ahead. I told you at the time, and you were hugely pleased, but that was many years ago, so I thought you might like to be reminded.

I remember he and Edward talking the hind legs off a donkey, Jenny!
And Cormaic took lots of photos and said 'spot one in which David isn't
holding a glass'. ;-) That was the first Devon meet and was at my
own house before I married Ray. Cormaic put them on the web ring. I'd
quite forgotten about all those and must have another look, so thank
you and Kay for that reminder. David thought so highly of Edward.

Thanks Kay and yes indeed, I'm glad and touched that you reminded me.
That was before Ray and I married or were engaged, so summer 1999, I
think and that was thanks to dear David, too, who sent me here as a
customer! I just can't beieve how these years have flown past.
