The Diary of a Country Parson. The Swan on the Village Green. Gressenhall Rural Life Museum. These are the things I think of, when I think of Hilary and our rambunctious teenage years. They speak to something gentle, kind and unassuming - we were lager-fuelled noise, full of self importance, unable to understand any of it. We’re lucky that you only raised an eyebrow and never your voice, and that you raised a gentle and kind man in Simon. We are all grateful for it.
