Dear Chippy
You touched so many hearts with your generosity. I can't even imagine how many people living in Bridport / Maidenhead use the skills that YOU taught them today, be it cider pressing, cider drinking, erecting a fence, building a greenhouse etc.
We still have the kids rocking horse you built them to remember you by whenever we walk into the kids room.
You were the best carpenter ever!! You were also a great man to be around I did enjoy your company.
I know you weren't everyone's cup of cider but you certainly were mine.
See you Wednesday for a drink in the Tiger - be there 12 sharp!
Cheers mate
All my love, John
P.S. I see all the bookies in town have now had to close down....
