Thank you. You’re welcome. In writing this there was a little voice in my head “try to be a bit Paul or @Margaret Bennett”. I didn’t succeed, but it made my writing a bit more personal.

Another great piece of writing Mike. Thanks for the weekend walk, and I hope that one day Pete puts pen to paper for his Gibraltar Tales.

Glad you enjoyed it! Great to see you on Saturday, and you’re right, Pete could write a best seller!

So true. We can learn a lot from living with each other. Lovely piece Mike and thanks for the very kind mention.

Thank you. It’s reading other people, like you, that pushes my writing forward a bit. So thanks!

Thanks for remembering Andy in the photo.

I came across your "Once we were six" dedication in the Look Back in Candour book and realised I missed his off beat humour and that I hadn't thanked him enough for all his work on launching our book.
