My great friend Clive Nunn died yesterday.

Clive was the godfather of Le Presbytere, designed, made, or sourced every piece of furniture and fitting. Over two years and on many occasions we made the drive out from Ireland to Thezan in his van together.

The van would be laden with furniture he had made in his workshop in the Mill in Thomastown which he would then painstakingly re jig to fit into the weird angles of this old building.
While we were here we would hunt antique fairs and brocantes for pieces of beautiful furniture for the house.

We also managed to do a lot of research into a proposed thesis of ours “The Quaffable Wines of the Languedoc”- but never before the church bell in Thezan had rung in the Angelus.

The picture shows the Lustre des Entonnoires which he designed. made and fitted for me just last Autumn and the glass globe which he spotted in an antique fair in Pezenas in 2008.

There is no way I will ever forget Clive Nunn,his legacy surrounds my daily life.
