Not a clue what to say. Despite not seeing Nigel often in recent years, I'll miss him horribly - even his very occasional out-of-the-blue demands for something (usually a photo) for Heritage Action!

Most of all, I'll miss his dry humour, self-proclaimed 'troublemaker' persona, wit (in its widest sense), intelligence, passion & his caring nature. He was a great friend & just generally a brilliant human being.

My contact with him since both he & I were regulars on TMA has mainly been through his alter-ego on Facebook, and we've more often talked about wildlife -especially lepidoptera (him) & birds (me) than stones. I'm really kicking myself that I never managed to make the detour to see him when I was visiting the Wyre Forest in his neck-of-the-woods over the last few years.

Just knowing he existed made me happy - and will continue to do so.

Good job there's no heaven - he'd only be causing trouble!

Love

Moth
