The Anonymous Widower

Anne Mustoe

I don’t think I ever met Anne Mustoe, but I may have done as I knew one of her three stepsons, Edward, quite well.  My late wife and I used to eat in his restaurant in the 1970s and later he had a house near us in Debach.  He used to affectionately tell tales of Anne.

Thinking about this a day later, I have a feeling that Anne did come to lunch with Edward.  This would have probably been before she started on her adventures and was still the headmistress at St. Felix School in Southwold.

It was sad to hear today that she had died from one of Telegraph obituary writers, Nicholas Comfort.

Long live the British eccentrics.
