The message from "Colin Jacobs" contains these words: Alan Broom Has died of Bressingham Gardens & nursery aged 98. Better known as Alan Bloom. Janet. With a name like that, he rather had his life predetermined... ;o) My grandfather knew him quite well... -- In memory of MS MVP Alex Nichol: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

My husband and I visited the garden in August last year. We saw him sitting
on a bench and had a brief chat. I told him we liked his garden and we had tried all the stream engines for tourists. It was a lovely day and he was such a very nice man. |
