Who to and where could I send a card ?

Psybbo

That's a lovely thought mikey, could one be sent from AB?

Tilly2

Thank you, Jomlett. That is much appreciated.

mikey, I'm sure you/we could send a card to The Guardian and it would be passed on.

Good idea, Sibs.

No idea Mikey, but I suspect if you just sent something to the Graham family in care of Somersham, Cambs,it will probably get through

A friend of mine visited him last week and said he was near the end, so not entirely unexpected.
Great memories of chaste Lord Archer vegetating in the Old Vicarage, Grantchester. Or at least, of the clue :-)

How can I save this thread to do that crossword and have the answers as well?

dzug2

If you follow the link and then add to favorites it should work - though I don't know how long the page will remain accessible.

Maybe print it off.

Jomlett

Save this page of the guardian that gives both...
