I met Margi 25 years ago.  We discovered that not only were we exactly the same age but had received the same kind of upbringing and attended the same kind of school.  We met regularly and lunched at various hostelries throughout Leicestershire.  We spent many happy hours together.  I used to tell her she was completely crackers and she agreed but she was the most fun, the kindest person, entirely without malice and someone I was privileged to have had for a friend.  Like everyone else I shall miss her dreadfully. There were so many special times. 

We were on holiday in Tenerife when she went into the town on her own and stood listening to some street performers.  While she was there she was fleeced by a couple of children and returned  to our apartment with no money at all.  They were so deft she had no idea how it happened.  We went to Corby once and saw the sign for mall which advertised itself as Corby Shopping.  Unfortunately the bulbs weren't working on the first letter of each word.  It was Orby Opping forever.  We exchanged ridiculous presents and had online correspondence in assumed characters from the early 1800s.  She loved playing her ukelele and I'm hoping a short video will be posted.
