A beautiful piece, David. I loved Upstairs Downstairs and Duchess of Duke St, but knew nothing more of her than her damilar name on the credits. How wonderful to have such a friendship.

There’s a true sweetness when two people meet for only a short while but it leaves a lasting impression. Love this story!

I remember with great pleasure coming with you to visit Rosemary and how we all shared so many stories and interests in common. She was so alive and a lesson to me as I reach a similar stage in life.. Rosemary was down to earth and interested in everything adn related to young and old the same; age was no barrier to Rosemary.

What an incredible woman! I love how people come into our lives when we need each other the most, even when neither of you realise it at the time. Beautifully written as always.

Thank you 🙏🌿 Yes, that’s so true, and sometimes they stay for a short season, and sometimes longer, but always remembered ✨
