Thanks everyone.
She had been pretty seriously ill for some time now and when I visited last year I was kind of warned that she may just have a few weeks to live.
She was a very tough lady and fought on for much longer than anyone dared to think or believe.

But it's still hard even when you know it may come anytime.

Thanks once again everyone for your kind words and thoughts.
We just booked flight tickets today for myself & Mrs Malty from Munich to Manchester next Thursday, returning Sunday.

The funeral will be next Friday in North Wales which is where my step-family live. Mum was in a home there.

RIP Jimmy Savile, he certainly 'fixed' a lot of dreams!

(for anyone who doesn't know, "Jim'll fix it" was a programme that was screened for years on British TV (was is shown elsewhere?) on which Sir Jimmy made the wishes of countless youngsters come true)

He also hated kids, apparently. Could be a myth, of course. He also hosted Top of the Pops and wore tracksuits.

Aye, a sad loss indeed.
As you know I was over in Blighty, or at least N.Wales for my own loss over the last few days and was saddened even further to hear about Sir James.

I grew up in an area of Leeds called Roundhay, famed for its Park and Sir James owned a house there, overlooking the large lake.
He was also famed for his voluntary work as a porter at Leeds' St. James' hospital, or was it the Leeds Infirmary? Anyway, long before the days of Stoke Mandeville he was a local radio DJ and doing local voluntary work in a hospital in Leeds. I used to know various people who had been wheeled into the Operating Theatre for major surgery by a rather crazy chap who went out of his way to cheer and relax them before their major surgery.

A true gentleman, albeit a little crazy and rather eccentric.
A sad loss.
Malty
