My Saddest Announcement

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I am announcing the death of my husband, the world-famous organ builder Ronald William Sharp B.E.M., on 21st July 2021.

During his very eventful lifetime he received two royal honours for services to music. He held a pilot’s licence for many decades and is the father of five children.

But to me he was simply the person who chose me to spend the remainder of his life with. Our relationship began in August 1999. We were together for almost twenty-two years.

Once again I have to report that grief is the price of love.

The Local Swimming Baths as You Have Never Seen Them…

That sweeping statement may well not be true… Nevertheless, it’s a sight seldom witnessed even by me.

The eerie beauty of a fog captures the attention of the multitude. Virtually every person I saw by the river that day felt compelled to seize the moment for posterity. Cameras and mobile phones all pointing towards the water…

Enjoy this late autumn scene from suburban Sydney.

Chicki is Gone

It is with a very heavy heart that I say that my beloved Maltese cross, Chicki, passed away last night at 2.30 am. Her death was quite unexpected. She has seemed a little off colour the day before, but was still eating pretty well and looking for treats. In the night, she suddenly took a seizure and died within a few minutes.

Grief is the price of love.
