Irene you always managed to become friends so quickly with all my mates. You could get on with nearly everyone. We were really good friends with Dave and Deborah. Xxx They first came up when you had the house on Crofton Way. Xxxx

You liked gardening programmes, Irenexxx..Monty Don was in Venice tonight .. often near the Grand Canal. We spent a lot of time in that area.... criss-crossing the bridges... browsing the markets... having nice meals overlooking the Canal. .. 🦞🦐🦑🦀 xxx

From the start, Irene, I know you loved my Mam and Dad xxx.... and I knew from the first time they met You .. that they loved You. Xxxx

When theTravel Man was in the South of France the other night, Irene xx he missed out Menton. We really liked our time there. Each time there was something different to see. You absolutely loved the different gardens that were on view and the history behind them xxx.

St Petersburg on tv again tonight. We really enjoyed it there xxxx. The Catherine Palace was excellent .. even though the journey was very hot. We liked the Hermitage. So many amazing buildings and Cathedrals. Xxx
