Seeing Penny Junor on Tv today reminded me of Afternoon Plus , a show presented by Mavis and Penny . I'd always liked Mavis so googled her to see ' where she was now' - she died on Friday aged 91 ..... sad to read it .

Oh I really liked her, I remember her well. She had a nice natural way with people, which came across well. Sympathies to her friends and family, R.I.P

I remember one Easter I think, the poem by GK Chesterton , The Donkey, was read out on her programme. It finished with the phrase about how it carried Jesus.

Mavis said how moving she found it.

I agreed, and have always associated that poem with her.
