It was a beautiful, lively occasion organised by Gillian’s family and friends, and held at Room 71-73 in north London, just a few streets from the house she and her partner, James, lived and worked in so prolifically for many years.

I put the book down. I’ll probably never finish it.Jason Hazeley is a comedy writer who is partly responsible for TV untellectual Philomena Cunk Continue reading...
