Got the sad news by telephone this afternoon from Mez. It was quite shocking as I had been trading pms with Ian up to 2 days ago. I was so looking forward to next week sitting with him again for a bit, even if he couldn't take me again to his various Pubs.
Heck, even sent him an email this morning . . Sorry for a babblebit but want to share and joke and do whatever to aid me with my saddness! Well maybe tomorrow. It's hard being so far away.
Bernie, be strong and be well!
