  1. Hi Khayem, just saw your kind comment over at CCM - well, what a fine Tshirt! :-)
    I also came to late to your blog and so missed out on a lot but very glad to have it in my reading list now. Andy was one of the warmest, funniest people you could ever wish to meet, as well as incredibly talented too, and we just clicked. I only knew him for around 5 years before he died, far, far too early. But, the story of how we met may make you smile! https://sundriedsparrows.blogspot.com/2015/11/friendship.html

    1. Oh, that's a wonderful story, C! I had dipped back into some of your earlier posts as they're such an enjoyable, resonating and entertaining read, but thanks for sharing this one. I find blogging a cathartic experience but I love the fact that it opens up doors to conversations and friendships that you might not easily have found otherwise, if at all. It must have been quite a moment when you realised you were street neighbours and it's lovely that you were able to spend so many happy moments with Andy. Something to cherish, always.
