Ali, just found out about John's passing, please accept our deepest sympathy we both have such great memories of our days "next door"! and for me even more so of the days we trekked around the golf course and the woks that John kept winning! Strangly enough Ive just come back from a week up at Cheviot and was remembering the good times we had there when I drove past the old place! So sad to hear the news when I arrived home.

So sorry to hear the loss of John. Lots of fantastic memories of him and the life in Tapawera. The Round Table trips, the fun times on the farm and so many great gatherings together. May the memories and the good times help you through this time of sad loss as a family.
Love and hugs The Foulsham family xoxo
