Wishing all my American friends and their familes a very Happy 4th July.
I know many of you will be spending it with loved ones, some will have "cook-outs", some may go out to dinner. You will all celebrate in your own way. I wish you all happiness and long may the bonds between our two countries continue to grow stronger and stronger.
On a more sombre note, I was very sad to hear of the passing of Clive Hornby who played Jack Sugden in "Emmerdale" for 28 years. I had watched this programme when it was first called "Emmerdale Farm" and the stories then very much revolved around Jack, his younger brother Joe and their Mother and Grandfather.
Over the years the soap evolved and there have been very many explosive story lines. In February, the last time Clive appeared as Jack, he had recently split from his on-screen wife, Diane.
It was announced at the beginning of the year that he would be taking a break from the soap because of health problems but he expected to be back as soon as he could.
Sadly, he died last night at the age of 63.
I know he will be greatly missed by the whole cast and crew. He brought pleasure to so many viewers over the years. Mike and I have been just two of them. May he rest in peace.

It was a very quiet 4th here. A T-storm prevented our cookout. ::sigh:: My condolences to all who loved Clive Hornby. What a nicelooking fellow.

Thank you for your wish to us. I'm glad that the 4th is not a touchy subject between our countries. As you say, may our bonds grow stronger with each passing year. Also, did not know your Clive or his soap, but he sure does look familiar. Sorry to hear about his passing. Take care, have a great weekend.

Sorry that I am only now replying to this posting. I do not think I recieved an Alert for it. It is very sad about the passing of Clive Hornby. He was Emmerdale's longest serving actor. No one can replace him as Jack Sugden.
