We are deeply shaken by the sudden loss of our dear friend and fellow writer Philippa. She was a ‘founder member’ of Wivenhoe Writers in 2013 and posted regularly on our blog with her entertaining short pieces of travel writing, fiction and poetry. She was an enthusiastic, supportive and productive member of the group, contributing hugely to our lively discussions, the sharing and critiquing of our writing, railing against the unfairness of the publishing industry, congratulating fellow members on their successes and exchanging books and reading recommendations. Our group will not be the same without her. She had so much more to give, and it is terribly sad that she did not have the chance to fulfil her future plans both for her life and her writing. However, she will always be remembered by us with great fondness and appreciation of everything she gave us.
