Hi Joe.

Sorry to hear about Robin. I wish you well as you navigate the grief.

Having the right tools makes all the difference. When I was still in Belfast, we had a row of Leylandii in the back garden. It took me half a day each year to keep them under control with my motley assortment of inappropriate tools, including the kitchen table (used as a platform). I finally decided to completely get rid of them. I called in a crew that were appropriately tooled-up and they did the job in 20 minutes, leaving no mess. 🤣

Love it! The kitchen table sounds dodgy! I love your phrase ‘my motley assortment of inappropriate tools’!

Brilliant piece as always Joe. My sincere condolences on the passing of your friend and musical collaborator Robin. But I will raise a glass to you and Ruth and the many adventures you have ahead of you in your motorised Titch Mark2.

Thanks Justin. I began a text to you earlier but couldn't continue as I needed to discuss Robin's ceremony. Thanks for your condolences and the toast. Hoping to see you soon.

No worries Joe. When dust has settled after Robin's ceremony we can make arrangements for a meet up.
