My guess is that June struggled to understand Sheila's illness maybe dismissing the early signs as bad behaviour rather than anything else, that is hardly surprising I would doubt she knew much if anything about schizophrenia and probably just thought it meant anyone suffering from it had a 'split personality'.
I think I'm a member of the 'stiff-upper-lip-brigade', Lookout, I hate doctors and would do anything to hide from them forever. ;D






Maggie,thankfully I'm lucky if I see a GP once a year. They get on my nerves too,giving wrong diagnoses when I do see them so it's a waste of their and my own time.  ;D ;D ;D Tho " old-school " type are long gone.

No. We were stunned that they even agreed to give them in the first place. Once I had received them we never mentioned them in writing (I don't think). Maybe they overlooked it....I really don't know and I was not going to ask.

Are you referring to Jeremy when you say 'we?'

Have you never been curious to find out what's on the film?





Yes, many times. I even took it to the shop but changed my mind.  I just couldn't get them processed.

Maybe now I could - I'd forgotten I had it until I went searching for the Cartier.....which I still haven't found.

Yes, Jeremy and I were very surprised.

AA,I think it's good that he at least had someone to hand over his " worldly goods " to.

Admittedly I still have a large prison sack of mail from SH in storage which he handed out in 2010. It still has the original seal on it but I've never really been interested or curious to see what's inside. It contains boxes and boxes of letters.

Rather a strange mixture of 'worldly goods'.

Do you ever hear from him? I must say I find the pony tail of hair strange. He would have been able to keep that in prison therefore I'm wondering why he's given it to you?

Did he grow his hair in prison then cut it off?

I've had the upstairs of the house decorated couple of months ago. I had this old wooden jewellery box, very outdated and cheap. I kept the watch in there. I've found some items that were once kept in there.....

I threw the jewellery box out. I'm hoping I put the watch with his letters for safe keeping. Oh my!!!'

I would consider it - it may prove helpful to you if nothing else.

Yes, he grew his hair in prison.

We were very close at the time - maybe he wanted to give me a piece of 'himself' to take home.

He just requested I did not throw it....

You know how it is Stephanie - we move on!

I don't hear from him, I don't contact him and I would never betray him either.

He made a decision years ago and I respect that decision and do not look back.

I do believe he's innocent - always have.

What makes you believe in his innocence?

That's a really tough question to answer, coming from you.

You've been in my situation - I remember you standing up for Simon, alone at times.
You were steadfast in your view.....and your feelings only confirmed what you thought.

I felt that way about Jeremy too.

I've said this so many times on here.....I remember the early days - before the revelations.
I'm certain he had absolutely no idea of what exactly happened that night.

The lies we had been fed by the police did not make sense.....nothing fitted into place.
Together we went over and over the same things, hoping that one of us could  (as there was only two of us then), might pick up on something we'd overlooked previously.

I was there when the new revelations came about also - he would phone me upon reading the new evidence .... We would then try to piece that new information together and then he would find further information and again we would try to form anther picture of what happened.

That picture changed many times as more information was being revealed.

He was very emotional when he began to understand what had happened. He was angry, sad, excited, relieved......we both tried to get our heads round the new info.

Yes that is a major aspect that worries me. He does not know what he should know if he is a guilty man.
