Sue, I remember your amazing hosting and superlative cooking skills. You made the best cherry clafoutis ever. I used to give you cookbooks as I knew how much enjoyment you got from preparing and sharing your creations. You had a poster in your kitchen, which sadly I can't find an image of to put up here. It showed numerous old cooking techniques - similar in style to the picture I'll post in galleries. Gosh, I've just remembered the layout of your kitchen in Samuel Lewis too. The drainer, the little cupboards. Your swiss white bowls (from trips away skiing). All those memories and little details come flooding back to me when I think of that kitchen. Oh and your Swiss calendar (lots of cows, lush fields and snow!) We miss you Sue. Much love K xxx

Dear Sue, I remember that having decided to live opposite the reservoirs and Climbing Centre in N4 just north of Clissold Park, you were very upset that a huge housing development was planned for the reservoirs area. You were worried that the plants and wildlife would be threatened there, and we talked about the fact that there were some quite rare plants growing on the banks. You even made time to go to meet some of the MPs who were opposing the plan to build over some of the wild area. In the end, a lot of flats were built, but management of the reservoirs were taken over by London Wildlife Trust, so the birds that use the reservoirs as a staging post out to Walthamstow and the Lea Valley are still monitored by them, and the wildlife is appreciated by the public who can walk round the area. And the horsetails, swans, pheasant and grebes flourish there side by side with local people and visitors.
