Its with great sadness that I have to tell that my darling wife Lucinda finally lost her long courageous fight with cancer and passed away peacefully on Friday 10th September. I know she was and is a great inspiration to many of you as she is to me.This garden blog has been the only outlet for her talents that her illness aloud her, in the past the wilderness of the Scottish Highlands or the plains of Africa were the places she would love to go to capture nature at its best, but alas with the onset of her illness travel became almost impossible for her so this blog became her passion. I would like to thank all those of you who have posted comments or emailed her. Where possible in the next few months I will try my best to keep this blog going with just a few post but dont expect the same quality

Again many thanks from me for you support for Lucinda

    So sorry to hear this sad news. I had been hoping that she would rally but it was not to be. At last she will be as her Springwatch user name said - 'Peaceful'.

    Thank you for updating us - my thoughts are with you too.

    Dear Al,

    So very, very sad to hear the news about Lucinda.

    She was always great fun to work with and I know that her articles and brilliant images about her, and your, adventures in the magazine inspired so many other paddlers to get out in to beautiful places. She certainly inspired me to do more open canoeing. A very special lady.

    Every time we take the Prospector out for a paddle somewhere wild we'll think of her.

    Our thoughts are with you.

    Jason & Faye
