Sadly Holly's dad, Bryan, passed away unexpectedly over the xmas holiday so it looks like 2023 is going to be the start of a new chapter for us all. Bryan was the greatest of men, an ex-BBC sound engineer and worked on some great projects including being part of the team behind the Top of the Pops dancing girlband Pans People and did work with Monty Python (it is even rumoured the Life of Brian film title was inspired by his name), he created a beautiful place for his family here, ran the whole thing calmly and decisively, was appropriately stubborn (he earnt it), he taught me all about growing food and looking after animals and lived the most active of lives (he was out on the pheasant shoot a week before his sudden departure) and was the best grandad to Jacob and Isaac. He will be greatly missed and we all are a bit lost without him at the moment, particularly as he used to do the electrics for the animal fencing and now the Pony and the Cockerel are running wild around the garden.
