Many friends came to Warleggan on Sunday October 27th 2013 for “Roger’s Day”, a wonderful magical day, offering insights into Roger’s world and providing plenty of time to talk and meet friends.
We met up in the morning at the Jubilee Hall in Mount, where a range of items were displayed that illustrated Roger’s diverse interests and talents.
We then went for a walk around Carburrow Tor, and returned for a relaxing lunch in the Jubilee Hall. In the afternoon, poems and memories were shared.
