Today, at the Midland
CTC Championship Show, it was fortunate for me to miss out on what - I have
been told - was a beautiful presentation speech given by Milly
Jennings. Yet, I came home with a delightful piece of Crystal which will be
treasured for the rest of my life. It was unfortunate for
Milly; she hadn’t been told that the person to whom she was to present with a
Crystal Trophy was absent – being from Chesterfield, I take the opportunity
of the break for lunch to travel to Boythorpe Cemetery to pay homage to past
family members, who are resting there. It was well that I was
absent but no one should think this infers any lack of gratitude or
appreciation on my part. When placed in a situation of listening to others
praising my actions for having done only that which I enjoy doing, makes me
both uncomfortable and emotional and believe that tears falling from a grown
man is not a pretty sight. A very grateful ‘thank
you’ to Milly and all others for thinking so highly of me for having done so
little – I am very proud of receiving such a lovely ‘trophy’ and have taken
the attached photograph to let all see its beauty. Graham Peers (As someone who’s mantelpiece
proudly displays a “Doonrae Award” , I know just how Graham feels. Brenda) |
