Remembering......!

On this day, our thoughts are with you, as you prepare to pay your respects to

Ruth Mitchell-Pitts

Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt and Sister.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My contacts with my sister- Ruth, in adult life, were forcibly sporadic, due to the distances between our chosen countries of Residence, but I followed her career and family life from a distance.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Her habit of supporting people with large deliveries of publications, books, music - amongst other things - occasionally presented me with a problem of finding space, but they were appreciated, since English language publications were rarely readily available to myself and my wife Kathleen.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My last personal contact with Ruth was on the occasion of my visit to N.Carolina in 1993, when I had the pleasure of spending time with her and her family in their home, at a difficult period of my own life.

I enjoyed my visit and their welcome.

Following my cardiac problems, I was pleased to receive a letter from Ruth together with a collection of Books, to "cheer me up" as she said!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Why such tragedies touch our lives is - and will remain for me - a mystery.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

To my great regret, I will be unable to be present on this sad occasion, for various reasons, but my thoughts are with you all - on this day.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Joining me with her condolences, is Mme Magali Coicadin, who never met Ruth, but had telephone contact at the period of the decease of Dr. Rev.T.C.Mitchell - our father.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life - it goes on!
Robert Frost

Our sincere condolences.


(Ian W. Mitchell) - (Magali Coicadin)

When London was a village (2)

One of London's 'Commons' Carrying on with my little series about London, a City but also very much a collection of villages which I enjoyed living in, working in, getting married in, and finally "'leavin'", I just wanted to touch on those places which London has so many of......'The Commons' - rather akin to Public Parks, but immense in size and in every 'village'.... A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
