Thank you for replying to my message David I’ve so many questions and to talk about life’s creative ideas. I learnt from Paul and all we spoke about so many stories about his books and laughs and situations sometimes we got into . I look forward to our chats and it hurts to loose such good people , maybe we are the lucky ones having met such good creative souls that light up our life . though we miss them they will remain forever with us through personal memories we have made with them .
Paul bagshawe I met one evening in a bar in Islington a rainy dreary night after talking at the bar he became a very good friend of mine . We discussed his work his love of food , music and all things creative . He played the piano for me and gave me great advise , just get on with it he used to say be proactive .. give one of his smiles all dressed with his black assemble of a simple black jeans and a black T-shirt … He enriched my life and life won’t be the same without him he will be missed. It was an honour to have met him and have him as my friend . Nancy
Nancy, thank you so much for your lovely words. I so agree with you that it was an honour to know Paul - he enriched the lives of all who knew him. As I mention in the post, there will be some more snippets about him, coming soon.
In the meantime, thank you for subscribing. I look forward to our discussing more things in the future.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, David.
This is as fine a eulogy as I have ever read; thoughtful, truthful and deeply human.

Strangely, it feels wrong to up-vote a post like this. Digital mores, eh?
No up-votes, then. But a heartfelt Thank You to you for your comments.
