I remember Hans when he lived in a caravan on his nursery site at Bell bar, he could sometimes be found cultivating and tending the grass traffic island where Bell Lane joined the Great North Road. this was when his children were really young and he worked on his own, He really proved that hard work pays off in the long run, Sadly missed even when I have not seen him for years.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
