Sue & Phil miss our cheery chats & waves. Chatsworth Drive isn’t the same without you. At least the embankment is now properly maintained; such a shame it took so long to get sorted. Thank you for being you.

  • Thank you Sue &Phil. That embankment really annoyed Dad and, as you say, it’s a shame it took so long but I’m sure he was very happy once it had been tidied up. He loved chatting to everybody on Chatsworth Drive, in fact, he just loved chatting, bless him .

The nicest and funniest man you could ever wish to meet. He was a joy to know and an absolute gentleman.
