  7. Thank you for including me in this Service . I feel very sad and very far from you all .
    We had a very happy childhood.
    One of my memories of Moira was her smile. Our parents had an 8 mm cine camera and when Moira was filmed she put on her “ film star “ smile.
    We had a tank/swimming pool built on the side of the hill behind our house. It could have been used as extra water if needed for irrigating the crops. At first there was not enough water to fill it so it started with a little in the deep end. Moira could play safely In this and so learnt to swim. She ended up a very good swimmer..

    Our shared Zimbabwe days will always be special and we think of memories with each of you, and the holidays we shared as well. Do you remember coming face to face with those lionesses at Mana Pools?
    Moir described England as “Mud Island” and we often think of her as the “cap fits”
