Ed! Hi han moltes coses que m'hagués agradat poder compartir, però quan encara podem no ho fem... La més important de totes, GRÀCIES. Gràcies per totes les paraules i experiències compartides durant la meva estància a Cambridge i quan vaig marxar. Gràcies per continuar compartint vivències tant teves com meves. Trobaré molt a faltar les nostres postals....

També m'agradaria poder donar-te una disculpa ben grossa, perquè no he arribat a temps per poder compartir i explicar-te més coses en persona. Per no poder veure'ns una vegada més...

Sempre estaràs en el meu record cóm una persona increïble Ed!

Allà on siguis, molts petons i una abraçada ben grossa amic meu ✨💕

Of all the chats over the years we had putting the world to rights over your milk and my coffee in hot numbers, relevant records and espresso library... we only ever took a photo with a pint. I miss your warmth, genuine positivity and delicious irony. I'll even miss the dreaded annual loss to Wales in the rugby now. What a lovely day this was in Fenners for the varsity match 😊. Rest easy Ed 1 in a million

I heard that someone once said that there are some special people that never leave us, even when there are gone, Ed is one of them. His poetry passion, love for Mill Road and support for  independent local shops was remarkable and will not be forgotten. We missed having him in our cafe at station road.  He was one of our most loved customers and we so many lovely chats. We are blessed to have one of his poems proudly framed in our café which will treasure.This photo was taken on 14th October. Ed was off to go watch his beloved Wales rugby team.  Rest in peace Ed. Thank you for being our friend

When we opened Meadows at Dutch’s corner last year, Ed made us feel instantly at home in Romsey. He was the neighbourhood welcoming party!

Through the summer he sat outside with cups of tea and introduced us to any of his acquaintances that stopped to chat to him on their way past. We discussed the rugby and ferry trips to Ireland on the Fishguard - Rosslare ferry, a journey we both knew well.

As his health started to fail, it was a privilege to try to comfort him in anyway we could with a bowl of soup or just a quiet chat about it all. I was surprised to learn that he had not really spoken much about his illness but sometimes it’s just easier to have the tricky chats with people you know less well. And even so, he kept on smiling bravely.

We miss you Ed. Rest in peace, Suzannah, Alessandra and the Meadows team xx

I had the great pleasure to work with Ed during his exam marking sessions for Cambridge Assessment (or UCLES) as it was the first time I met him. A truly wonderful man, I have only just found out he passed away a few minutes ago. I last saw him before towards the end of 2023 along Mill Road and he was still on good form. It has brought a tear to my eye, he will be truly missed. Rest in Peace my friend
