I just heard the news that Peter Edwardson aka Old Mudgie aka Pub Curmudgeon has died.

Rather than be reflective or attempt an eloquent memorial I’ll just say, for now, that I’m going to miss Peter very much.

From reading and commenting on his blog to numerous pub crawls over the last decade I’ve always enjoyed his company, if not his music taste. Roxette were OK.

He was very helpful to me when I started my own blog, which has probably celebrated and poked fun at Mudgie more than anyone over the years, and he always took my appalling photos of him in good heart.

But I was glad to get him to smile here.

Thanks for the memories, Mudgie.
