This morning we read with sadness of the death of Canon Eric James.  He once came to tea when we lived in Bedford ( probably late 1980s) He was leading Holy Week meditations at St Andrews and we had been asked to entertain him.  We had been worried about having one of the Queen's Chaplains to tea - what with having 3 young children and tea time always being rather chaotic (understatement). But it was memorable for the right reasons! He was amazing, slightly eccentric with a massive red and white spotted hankie tumbling out of his top pocket, such fun and so entertaining. We had an amazing teatime - and the children thought he was wonderful.  May he rest in peace.
