Linda Smith is one of my heroines and a huge inspiration. She had a wonderful dry, observational wit and an amazing talent for writing. Her Radio 4 comedy 'A Brief History of Timewasting' is one of my all time favourite listens, I never tire of it. Her wit was kind. She didn't need to belittle others or herself, she was too busy observing the truth under our noses such as Argos is home shopping with a walk and curling is housework on ice.
We were robbed in February when Linda passed away after a battle with cancer, but thank goodness we had her in the first place.
Click here to listen to Radio 4's tribute to Linda which aired today (Wednesday 9th August) and I believe will be available on 'listen again' for the next week.
Totally agree. I blogged about her when she died, very sad.
As you say her humour good be sharp but was never malicious.
Oh I've tagged you. Sowwy :D
