Oh my, I'm so very sorry for your loss Ruth.


I can only echo the sentiments expressed here.


Simon was a firm favourite of mine and his thoughtful, insightful contributions will most certainly be missed, but above all it was his warm, wry sense of humour that shone through.


My sincerest condolences

Piers

Thank you all so much for your condolences and the lovely tributes. Although Simon's life was limited physically it seems he has touched and inspired many people both face-to-face and on the internet.


John K - I'd love to know more about Simon and Victor!


Laddy muck, you have a pm


The cremation will be in Doncaster on 17th January. We've asked for family flowers only. If anyone would like to make a donation in Simon's memory, the charities he supported are


St Georges Hospital Kidney Patients Association www.sgkpa.org.uk


National Association of Deafened People www.nadp.org.uk


Celia Hammond Animal Trust www.celiahammond.org

Before I took my first great leap into this abyss and posted, I took great pleasure in his much missed wit. I believe that his last post ended with

"There's very little storage and no off-road car parkng".

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
