A fellow Brinkley Roadian has emailed me with the sad news that one of the familiar faces in the road has passed away:
John was 74 last birthday (well that's what he told me!) and I believe he lived there all his life. He used to walk up to the shops nearly every day and I'm sure he has the best hedge in the street! When we moved here just over three years ago John quickly befriended us and would always stop to chat and occasionally pop in with fruit or sweets for our kids, he even made my hubby a huge wooden tool box! He was a real diamond and we will miss him greatly ... RIP John.I'll miss seeing him in the road too as he was always happy to chat and was a lovely bloke.
