      His deep understanding of the mobility issues Shirl suffered carried forward to him being an absolute rock as I was battling with my own mobility after coming out of hospital. Make no mistake, folks like Eddy, @wiseowl @shiney and many others on this forum were instrumental in pushing me to 'get my legs back' - - I won't ever forget it.

            What was Eddy's favourite drink, I was about to have a G & T but thought he might have preferred wine ?

              Think he was a single malt man.

                He was indeed - single malt or a good blend.

                I admit I am on cider as my insides don't cope with whiskey any more.

                  Not good for a Scotsman, but I struggle with it these days.
                  I've gone onto the odd G+T as @JWK likes sometimes, can say the odd Bacardi and Coke is quite smooth.
                  Anyway, Cheers to Eddie.

                        We normally have Johnnie Walker just for visitors , not had any visitors for a year so it must have evaporated.

                                I raised a thread a few years ago regarding what to plant against my (then newly built) pergola. With input from Eddy I decided to plant a Clematis, Armandii, ‘Enham Star’. It was doing fine, until a few weeks back when for no apparent reason, it died. I’ve since planted another...
