Julie Floyd
20th April 1968 - 26th December 2012
It probably hasn't escaped your notice that the SpecialEffect Tigers blog hasn't been updated for a couple of months.
This is due to the fact that my beautiful wife, Julie, died suddenly and unexpectedly on 26th December 2012. To be honest, its been as much as I can do just to try and keep going with the things I have to do, let alone update the blog.
But here we are again, so lets start by taking a few moments to pay tribute to a wonderful wife and a huge fan of SpecialEffect.
Jools was never a fan of cricket. They didn't play it a lot in Kilmarnock where she grew up. And if anyone did, they probably didn't play it twice. No, Jools always referred to cricket as 'posh rounders' and would constantly pull my leg about scoring a chicken (as opposed to my usual score, a duck).
But she did encourage me to play and loved the fact that I took on responsibility for running the SpecialEffect Tigers Cricket Club. And if you wondered who made the tea for Tigers' games outside of Charlbury, that was my Jools.
I'm not going to go into anything more personal here but I give thanks for the twenty-four years I had with Jools and I know any of you Tigers who knew her will miss her in your own way too.
