We met with the investigators, Verita, this morning. They’re based in Soho which was one of LB’s fave haunts. We were there with him, one Sunday last June. On a day trip from the unit. It was hard to believe we were back in the same space to go through a report into his death.

But the investigation team were very professional, thorough, fair, sensible and kind. A kind of balm after our interactions with the Trust. We went through a few factual inaccuracies (getting to know the lingo now) and talked about a few bits in the report. We agreed with the conclusions anyway and think they nailed it really. So thank you.

Walking back to the bus stop, a pup captured the different feeling this meeting generated. Kind of pug puppy in a blanket feeling.

And then this van went passed us on the A40. The dude would have loved it.
