I first met Peter over 40 ago when our gardens backed on to each other in Dunstable. The friendship developed when Peter walked his two West Highland terriers ‘Sandy’ and ‘Robbie’ past the frown of our house where they would scrabble at the gate to ‘make friends’ with our Cocker Spaniels. Peter and Margery worshipped the two ‘boys’ as they did with all wildlife.
Peter was never happier than when walking around his garden and sharing his interest in all things horticultural. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects but his special love was alpines and cyclamen in particular, an interest we shared.he lit up when in their presence and his knowledge was compendious.
Anyone who knew Peter, knew a kind, gentle and wise man. He was entertaining and fun to spend time with. He was devoted to Margery and could not do enough to keep her happy and I know have devastated he was at her passing. I will always remember Peter with great fondness as a man who only. saw the good in everything. Rest in peace Peter.
Your old friend,
John
