Very sad news to hear of the passing of a great, funny, mischievous, caring and wonderful man. Malcolm took me in as a worker at the farm and he made a massive impact on my life, he was so fun to work with and he taught me much about work, life and nature.
Thanks to Malcolm, I now know:
When and where to pick the best sloes for gin and the best recipe for sloe gin
Not to creep up and scare a farmer returning from the fields with a loaded shotgun
That when repairing greenhouse roofs, wellies are not the best foot attire
If you do wear wellies when repairing greenhouse roofs, that as you fall through the glass roof, one should relax during the fall and avert one’s eyes to avoid the falling shards of glass
When sharpening a scythe, one should not present and soft tissue in the hand directly to the blade
When using a sharpened scythe, one should not stand too close to electric fences
When struggling to find work around the farm, if you discover the farmers personal stash of tomato plants, one should not apply commercial "leafing" techniques thus rendering the tomatoes tasteless and the farmer rather unhappy
The call to "Baggin" should be taken seriously and with great haste otherwise you will miss out on the best cream cakes
I will miss Malcolm but the memories he provided will last forever. Lisa and Anthony, its true he loved a whisky and a cigar and I will never forget his resourcefulness such as that one time at your house when he demonstrated that if you are ever without and ashtray, ones belly button serves as a great replacement.
Lisa, Anthony and Family, I am so sorry for your loss, a wonderful man, my arms are around you all.
Danny and family
