Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

One Drone Less

While one shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, I fear I come perilously close to that after reading this hilarious obituary of what seems to have been a rather unpleasant man.

    Wonderful! Unfortunately it doesn’t give the manner of his death. I see that there’s a letter in today’s Telegraph (from a Bromley-Davenport..) complaining about the obituary and claiming that he wasn’t that bad.

    Yes, 61 is only three years older than I am, and I did wonder at the cause of death. I have to say though that a name like "Bromley-Davenport" is rather a red flag to the bull of my prejudices, and therefore I am inclined to take the claims that the dear departed wasn’t all that bad with a rather large pinch of salt…

    The B-D’s own a large stately pile just a few miles from here (Capesthorne Hall) so my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek, maybe he never managed to shoot one of them!
