Monday 2nd December saw Robert Harwood launch his autobiography entitled ”My Life in Service” at the Plough in Upper Wardington. Attended by Neil Gadsby, Chairman and Founder of The Katharine House Hospice and large numbers of villagers, the event was great fun and very well supported. Mr Gadsby gave a very warm speech of thanks to Robert and Robert replied with a very moving tribute to all who had helped in publishing the book.
Robert’s commitment and dedication to Wardington was clearly greatly appreciated by all who attended however his popularity within the community may well be dimmed once everyone reads what he’s written about them in the book!
Sorry Robert did not know about the launch until after the event .Would have been there if we had known. Please remember that we ordered a book. How can we collect it?
Robert and i have had a very colourful relationship for many a year.
Robert came into my life and vise verser in 2004,he being a great mentor to me .
Every single day started off with great intentions to keep the Manor house and grounds /gardens to the standards that the Right Honourable Lord and Lady Wardington rightly expected.
Laughter,anger,tears and full blown tantrums flew around on a regular basis between are positions and responsabilities,(excuse my spellings).
Robert,Phillip ,old Gordon and myself made one of the best comedy series that has yet to if ever be produced,situations,circumstances total mayhem “””insane”””to Absolute perfection.
The whole Estate really did work like clock work and very much a focal point for all the notiable villagers too ,it was a great hub of interest for all in the know.
Robert and i fell out of love many times and make up with cuddles and laugh it off ,unfortuantly with so much change that happened over the years we became lost and distant.
Ive only yesterday found out that ROBERT is “””DEAD”””by our walking friend,i am in a very numb state of mind and keep crying.Nobody told me that he was hidding ,very sad and scared ,I know Robert very well ,lots of his traites.We know how sensetive he is .LOVE YOU ROB GORDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
