I miss Jean. She was a very private person, though I would describe her as quietly ferocious rather than quiet, and decisive and wilful - which I loved. She expressed her opinions vehemently. She was great to discuss things with. You could spar. And she was funny. And she was completely batty about her cat. And idealistic and warm-hearted and thoughtful and loyal. And didn't suffer fools, so (since I am one) I was very relieved she felt able to put up with me. We will remember you, Jean! And will party for you at your posthumous book launch, here at Settle Meeting house on Saturday 26th June 2021!
