Michael you’ve been gone a while now matey, you wouldn’t recognise the village & I doubt you’d like it, just about everything changes & not for the better.
Do you know you’re still thought of & get mentions? When John has his woolly hat on & it’s sticking up he’s wearing a ‘cardinal Savins’ hat , when one of us say your phrase of “getting there” it’s always followed by ‘yes Michael’ so we keep you in mind with little things like that .
We wish you’d told us how unhappy you were, we would have tried to help because you were a friend & a generally good stick.
Hope you’re at peace & you never know one day we might just meet up again until then enjoy your pea-wine & don’t get any great inventing ideas...heavens probably fine as it is. Sleep well Michael. X
