Sad to hear this news. We had many a bitter battle (which I'm sure we both enjoyed)- often when we were on the same side. Latterly, we found we had a lot in common; not just folk music and especially young performers like Mawkin, but our political leanings, love of English literature and cats, our Yorkshire roots, and the fact that we both painted our bathrooms red (she repainted hers because she said it was like showering in tomato soup). Thank goodness you were an athiest - God woudn't stand a chance against you.

Goodbye, Diane. I think Nikos Kazantzakis' epitaph would be appropriate for you: "I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free."
