Bob and Mary Nichols: Some of you will remember Mary's mother, Con Bacon, from her trips to stay with us while we were living in Headington Quarry. Con died unexpectedly on Friday, 5th December. As we are busy with funeral arrangements etc., we are unable to write Christmas greetings this year. However, Bob and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you peace at Christmas and many blessings in 2015.
