Barb and I considered Eleanor as one of our dearest friends. Even after leaving the Burg we continued to maintain close contact, in fact Eleanor called us just over a month ago. We enjoyed our social contact at London Christmas parties, dinner at the rectory (we're still using recipes labelled 'from Eleanor Fairhead'), for Barb the Centennial ACW activities and so much more. She was our 'best rector's wife', a very elegant lady who we feel so privileged to have known and a true friend. Barb is quite upset at her passing.
As I told Gerry, it would be difficult for us to attend the funeral, I hope you understand.
