Today marks the one-year anniversary of the
passing of Rob Holdstock.
It’s still hard to believe that’s he’s no longer with us.
The above picture, which I’ve called ‘Elysium’, was taken a few days ago in Coole Park in Galway. As soon as I saw it I though of Rob.
I miss him.
The
good news is that £3,761 was raised for the ‘
Rob Holdstock Memorial Fund‘, and an acre of woodland in
Victory Wood will be dedicated to the memory of Rob’s life and writing.
Early in the new year a bench and plaque will be placed on the site, and people will be able to go there and visit.
I hope to go there one day, sit and remember Rob’s hearty laugh and great soul.
