Making Flop-bott a Household Word Since 2002
In 1981, Fter reading the books…..and because I had hitch hiked in 1978, all over Yorkshire, I had friends in Guisborough…..after a call to them, they to.d me his name was Alfred Wight, and lived close in Thirsk. We went to visit them, The Wilson’s….and they taught me to drive….and we went to Thirsk. After arriving we wa
ked about the town, drank bitter beer in most bars, then changed money in a bank, where we asked….”How can we find J. Herriot?” She took me by the arm, outside, am
nd pointed up Kirkgate…..we found the practice instantly, went in and was told…James would be in on Thursday…..since we had five days, we toured Wales…and drove back. At…..2 PM, we walked into the practice……and Alf came around the corner…..seeing our books…he smiled…and asked us to wait in a room! it was with the galss closed cabinent above t he fire place….a view to the garden, we took many pics….he came in later and signed our books…with a white vet coat on…..Will never forget how nice he was….I asked…”How is Siegfried?” He replied….”A bit layed up, a motorcycle hit him and he broke his leg…” RIP
