When the Beamsley Project started Keith and Pam were good supporters and it gave me chance to renew their aquaintance after teaching their children. There was always a welcome at Buffers and lovely bacon sarnies. Now taking grandson who is besotted by their calves and tractors. All or sympathy to the family.

We were so very sorry to hear the sad news yesterday, during our visit to Buffers. For decades we have been regular visitors to this delightful place, tucked away behind the hill above Bolton Abbey. Keith was a lovely gentleman and we often chatted about the local wildlife. Keith allowed Martin access to parts of his farmland to paint and Pam's baking was always a real treat to look forward to. Our thoughts go out to Pam, Howard and the family. Martin & Barbara Williamson

We were saddened to read of the passing of Keith after a strong battle. Jan and I enjoyed both your company, cooking and welcome to Buffers; it was and is a breath of freshness after a tiring day.
Our thoughts are with you on Monday and after at this sad time.
So sorry we cannot be at the service.
Pete and Jan
