It is with great sadness that we have to say that after being ill for about 6 years Pat died on Saturday the 14th of June 2008 at about 6pm.

She was at Saint Peter's Hospice in Bristol, where she had been for about a week.

Dennis and Jeff are doing a reading of Pat's poems on the 8th of November 2008 to mark what would have been her 70th Birthday. It's at the Star Anise Cafe in Stroud. Admission is free and the doors open at 7.30pm. They have also published a small book of poems called "Arrivals Departures" to coincide with the event. Available from: Ourside, 3 Rodborough Avenue, Stroud, GL5 3RR.

William and Rohan scattered the majority of Pat's ashes under the third arch of Clevedon Pier (counting outwards from the land) on the 28th of August 2008. Say hello to her, when you are next there. There will also be a plaque on the Pier to her memory. When the precise location is known it will be posted here.

Some ashes were also scattered on Pat's allotment by Sheila Yeger on the same day. More will be scattered at Ilfracombe and Eastbourne in the next few weeks.

The Plaque is now up on Clevedon Pier. It's on the top level at the far end... here are some pictures William took on his first visit
