One of the regular highlights of my childhood was our family Christmastime visit to my Dad's best friend "Eddy" Barton from his schooldays, his friendly wife Beryl, and their children Stephen, Antony and Sarah. Together with my sister Mary, we got to know the family well. In later years, when my wife Helen and I holidayed in Devon, Beryl welcomed us with a proper West Country cream tea and her home made scones. Rest in peace Beryl.
