Daphne Oxenford died on 21 December, aged 93.
The news must have prompted both tears & outbreaks of nostalgic gratitude from all those old enough to remember "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin."
Every weekday afternoon at a quarter to two as we settled for a song & a story, possibly going for our lie down afterwards, leaving Mummy to listen to Woman’s Hour in peace.
