Lionel Walsh leaves France for UK

Lionel Walsh, former correspondent and editor in Bonn, Geneva, London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Warsaw, has moved from France to Sheffield, UK to be near his son, Terry, Julian Nundy writes.

Walsh says the trip, organised by Terry and his daughter, Theresa, started with a Ryanair flight from Nantes to East Midlands airport. He says the journey, with lengthy car trips at each end, went smoothly and he's pleased with the change. He says he finds the food - he mentioned shepherd's pie and Yorkshire pudding - to his taste and that the staff are very kind. As always, he would love to hear from old friends and colleagues.

Walsh’s new coordinates are: Chapel Lodge Care Home, 105 Station Road, Chapeltown, South Yorkshire S35 2XF, UK. +44 1142 454180. His e-mail remains the same: lionel.walsh@iccwbo.org. ■
