*In loving memory of Cathie Blair (16/05/1952 – 8/7/2019) Cathie left us recently; I am touched at this news, and I want to express my most sincere condolences to her family and my friend Andrew. A blessing: interviewing her, quite early in this series, have a chat and the chance to tell her story are a blessing, I see it know. I am happy I can contribute toward keeping her memory alive over time. A warm and adventurous woman, a loving and loved mom and nan. There’s nothing better than coming back home if it’s warm and comfortable, it’s even better if you feel that house is really yours thanks…
