A warm and deeply felt thank you for the many cards, emails and letters I have received from Bridford, Christow and other Teign Valley villagers. We enjoyed many happy years in Bridford and our leaving for health and family convenience was a great wrench. Ted’s diagnosis and more recent events have proved it to have been a wise move. It is comforting to know that many of Ted’s qualities are still remembered. He had a tendency to dismiss his own achievements in life as ‘luck’ whilst remaining true to his conviction that we should all, in our own small ways, try to make the world a better, fairer place for everyone. He appreciated the active, community spirit of Bridford and would have been chuffed but slightly embarrassed at being remembered.

I am fortunate in having a wonderfully supportive family but when ‘normality’, resumes will happily put on the kettle for visitors.

Thank you and best wishes,  Annette.
