Tribute to Christine Thank you for: • Being my boss at the King’s Fund and making Bill’s sabbatical possible • Being our ‘London friend’ after I moved to Vancouver • Your hospitality – B&B chez Christine, splendid dinners, late night conversations over too much wine • Introducing me to the LRB Bookshop, Eric Ravilious, Waterlow Park, Estorick Gallery, Stendhal’s syndrome (a surfeit of art masterpieces) • Helping us organize two international conferences (Where’s the Patient’s Voice in Health Professional Education?) and writing the conference report • Your anger at stupidity (especially politicians) • Your generosity Sorry that: • We never got to the Musée d’Orsay • I made you walk the Cornish coast path from Lamorna to Mousehole because I’d forgotten about the steep ups and downs, the rocks, the mud. • We didn’t get to say goodbye.
