It has been a long time since I posted, sorry but the grief of Deric's death hit me harder than I expected. It hurt so much. I had contact to him a couple of times, but as you all have experienced by reading his books, he and his family had become a part of our family and his death was like loosing a dearly beloved. Today on the anniversary of his death, I am finally able to get back to the forum. Have missed you all. On Friday I found a small book in a charity shop, I immediately got a lump in my throat as I thought of Deric. The title: 50 Ways to kill a Slug. If Deric was still with us I would have mailed it to him, I'm sure it would have amused him. Instead, I will keep it and think of Deric everytime I pick it up. I think I am now ready to reread Deric's books. I send my greatings to everyone, old friends and new, and look forward to our regular comments.

Conny, you can purchase them as Kindle Editions at Amazon. Just enter Deric Longden and Radio Times - there they are.

Thank you, Annie, for keeping us connected - I am with you in spirit and keep thinking of Deric a lot. As many others, I am also re-reading his books and do miss him, too. Love to all of you and especially Aileen. Blessings from Germany, Conny. PS: These lost manuscripts - how are they available? I did not quite get that...sorry!

Hi All - it has been a long time, i hope everybody is well. In lieu of the coming date I have just started to re-read The cat that came in from the cold. I miss being able to think as I always did when reading his books that he was out there somewhere making people smile :o) Best wishes to Aileen, Annie and family x

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
The family thank you all again for your kindness one year on since Deric's passing. There will be a family gathering at Aileen's house at the weekend to mark the occasion an I have collected some apt readings about birds (which you know he loved) and loss but happy bits too!
The latest "lost" manuscripts are to be published as Radio Times Take 3 on the same day, 21st July.

Hi Diana. I too have been aware of the date soon approaching. I miss knowing Deric was reading our posts and laughing along with us. He always had a way of surprising all of us with a silly story that always made my day. I miss all of the regulars as well. Take care, and try to think of happy thoughts of Deric. Love, Jan

Hello everyone. Just had to post as you're probably feeling rather sad at the moment. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Aileen and all the family as the anniversary approaches. Still love Deric's books and humor. Specially thinking of you - love Diana, Southampton xx

Hi all - time to write something here again...
Thanks, Annie, for the info about the books now being available as e-books. Remember I didn't have a Kindle when "Tailpieces" came out and shared the "You can download the Kindle-App for free"-news? I have purchased a "real Kindle" in the meantime for which (after reading Annie's message) I just bought those two books. I ran out of stuff to read this morning, so this was really perfect timing.
Hope everything's going well for everyone around here?!
Many greetings from Germany, Andrea

Hi Gill and All. Just checking in. I always look to see if there are any messages, at least once a week. I miss the comradery and connecting with all my friends who loved Deric and his books the way I do. I still recommend them whenever I get the chance. Best of luck on your move Gill. Hope it's not too far from work. Hugs and kisses to Annie, Aileen, and all my friends who post here. xxoo Jan
