Time

There are many good people in this world. It is probably best to like or even love everyone you meet, for they will usually respond favourably. Charisma is an elusive phenomena. Some people seem to be attractive, and yet it is difficult to describe just what it is that appeals. That is particularly the case with older, gentler folk. Just one of those is George Forsdike, a quiet gentleman.

Recently he has been working on the publication of his biography. For about 50 years he ran a flower nursery, growing chrysanthemeums, petunias, sweet peas and other flowers for the commerical market. He worked with his wife, Clare, at Shrubland Park, now used as a health centre. Helping him has been a quiet pleasure.

Why does the world bear down on such gentle people. He retired and moved to an apartment that looks over the sea at Felixstowe. Within months his wife Clare had died.

Life is not always fair.
