Keep strong Dora. Much love. Jerry and Char. | ||

Borda and Jess the cat are keeping me company, and I saw Jess going up to Borda and kissed him for the first time ever this morning, magic!  I believe Jess has come to terms with Borda being here to stay now  His funeral will be a small family affair up north, however, there will be some sort of memorial celebration afterwards. I am currently looking at Fri 05 Dec 08 in the afternoon in or near Bulford Camp near Salisbury. I'll post up the exact date, time and other details once they are available I shall busy myself this weekend tidying my house, so that it will be in a fit state to receive visitors  Don't worry about me, I am on the up part of the change curve now DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

Glad you are doing better There are sufficient spaces in the camp for certain As soon as I know the details I shall post them up so that we can start preparing for it. We need car registration in order to go into camp, that is as much as I know. There is a will there is a way!  DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

I have been looking at joining the website for a while, but after the story and it mentioning that he was the co-founder I thought I would show my support and appreciation for what sounds to be a great and well loved man. I have seen you many times around town (Devizes) Dora in that beautiful ‘Apple’ coloured mini of yours! I look forward to meeting you properly (and the beautiful Borda too!) Take care (and hopefully meet you and everybody else soon!) KEL | ||

Apple is rather difficult to be missed I hope I have waved at you in passing, I still wave at MINIs most of the time Looking forward to meeting you one day. BTW, the pic was taken when Borda was a puppy, he is now a very cheeky 1.5yo boy!  DK [ Edited Sun Nov 16 2008, 05:56PM ] Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

I'm feeling absolutely gutted, but I can't start to understand how you must be feeling Dora, and our thoughts are certainly with you. To the Cookie's Max was more than a fellow member of SCNM, he was also considered a close family friend. We spent a lovely unexpected new years eve night last year onboard the Apple and Julia and the Kids spent a few days on the Apple as Max's guest in the summer along with our au pair, Marie. Max was a fantastically generous host and a great cook. I've just woken up Julia this evening as she was asleep to break the tragic news to her, it's going to be really difficult to tell James and Alice tomorrow, they both really loved Max. James really looked up to Max with his interest of anything military, a browning machine gun bullet that Max gave him is one of James' most prized possessions and takes pride of place on the shelf in his room. Rest in peace Max, it's tragic that you have been taken but our lives are richer for having known you....

Max enjoyed having your family round, and he thought a world of James and Alice. I hope they'll be ok after hearing the news about his death. We are bearing up ok, thanks. Borda is getting used to his new routine, however, he likes staying with me as I feed up lots of goodies! DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

He lived life to the full till the very end, never minced his words, never suffered fools, called a spade a spade, and always a gentleman. He has left a huge void that is going to be difficult to fill, and I shall miss him dearly I am bearing up ok, thanks, and so is Borda :) DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||
