Peter was my colleague through three changes of office. I miss him and dearly wish there could have been many more years. I will always remember his "Can I pick your brains?" about some obscure point of style which invariably ended in hilarity, however serious the subject. His constant good humour invigorated the most tedious shift. It was a privilege to have spent a little time with him and Sheila at home. I send her and Thomas my deepest condolences.
