Kristina Pearce-Buckley and The Twinning Association It was with great sorrow that we heard of the untimely death of Kristina, for so many years, along with Nigel, a stalwart of the Twinning Association. Her last appearance at a Twinning event was in May when we greeted French visitors at The Thimble. Kristina was resplendent in the national costume of Norway, her birth-place, which she continued to visit regularly while retaining affection for her chosen home in the Piddle Valley where she was an active and enthusiastic member of the local community. Kristina always threw herself into Twinning events with huge enthusiasm, especially the musical entertainments during our visits in Longueville. She led the quiz team for many years, with two or three major Dorset Quiz victories and on many occasions, come rain or shine, hosted the summer barbecue in her garden. With Nigel, she did the catering for several gala evenings when the French visited and they were both very generous with their time and skills. Kristina made many close friends in Longueville, Granville and Labergement (our other French village, in the Jura ) and became an affectionate mentor to Elodie Ganon when she came to the Valley for work experience in 2000. A few years later she attended Elodie’s wedding in Granville, a very happy day for everyone. She loved visiting France and with Nigel, helped choose Longueville as our twinned village in 1992, visiting several villages in La Manche for us before deciding this was the nicest of the four villages proposed by Dorset Twinning. Many messages of sympathy have been sent from Longueville - Kristina’s enthusiasm and love of the French will be very much missed on both sides of the Channel.
