As a member of the Cicerone team I had the pleasure of sending Kev his royalty payments.  These were always received with humble gratitude, a certain amount of surprise and a lovely reply expressing his thanks…here is one of many – ‘Relief swept into our home yesterday afternoon when your email arrived. Hurrah, me thinks, we can eat another day!’

 
When he discovered that I’m originally from Sussex and he’d probably been near my house whilst walking in the South Downs National Park he said ‘if only I’d known you then, I’d have popped in for a hot chocolate!”
 
Rest in peace Kev
