I think from now on, Father Christmas will have ColK's face for me.....

Lynne, the first time I took part in Secret Santa, in 2003, it was Col's face for me. He was my Secret Santa. And a fine and generous one he was, too. You're right, that is a beautiful photo. I'm just sorry I never got to meet him.

Of course, I can't make it to the funeral either, being in Oz, but I will stop and think about him at the appropriate time. What a great loss for us! And a bit of a wake up call for me too, considering I am 3 years older than him, and don't take as much care of my health as I should.
