I will contact you Elna via your email, I don’t have the children’s contact details but I have a good friend’s telephone number who could probably put you in contact with them.

Do you have Dan or Lucie’s email or address?? OH MY GOD– what was the surgery?? PLEASE– he has so many USA friend who will mourn and want to express sympathy to the children.

Nadia, this is so lovely of you. I had such a struggle with this post fearing that I had grief-brain. As an ad man Graham new his colour chart so he would have been spot on with the chartreuse, no old ladies knicker drawer colours for him with their wiff of stale talcum powder. I’m touched that I touched you and salute you for going public.

Moving on to Martin who steers ever so cleverly away from the knicker issue. Thank you for this. I was meaning to get you two together at the next lunch. Who is that Martin bloke? he used to ask me, I think you represented a bit of a challenge.

For once, I am almost at a loss for words. I never had the pleasure of being able to meet Graham but thoroughly enjoyed both his own blog and his posts to Jules’ blog.

His “un – PC” view of the World certainly brought a smile to my face and, I am sure, to that of many others.

He will be both remembered and missed.

Hi Jules,

I meant to send you a personal comment to say how much I loved this post, and how perfect it was for Graham, and what great writing it was…

I found myself wondering if Graham really knew that chartreuse was a shade of yellow-green, or just that it was a wierd colour?

I also thought that he’d have appreciated your wearing black for him, and that underwear, definitely.

So having trouble actually putting into words what all this made me feel, I’m now late so I’ll just say it in public.

I cried and I laughed and it’s perfect.

Thank you.
