April 29th – A long day, which broke very, very bad news. A dear, dear friend who gave, and continues to give me online courage and companionship throughout my time as BrownhillsBob, is ill.

They aren’t going to be doing much exploring for a bit, so I’m going to try and bring them some summer in the posts here. 

……

My friend, it’s going to be a hard journey and neither of us know where it’s going. But you have the very best of my dreams, hopes, cares and support. 

I can’t do that journey for you, I wish I could, but I can make this journey in your honour, and try and bring you the nicest stuff I find.

As I rode home last night, darkness fell. You have my word, old friend, that I’ll try and bring you the light as much as I can.

Remember what I said, and you know where I am if it gets to you.

I will ride this road with you as far as I can.

Some sentiments go beyond that which my fumbling words can encompass.
