LaingSANDYArtist. July 1948-22 December 2021. After a wonderful and glorious life Sandy Laing died at home in his beloved Highgate, painting and drawing to the end. An irrepressible Romantic, Sandy delighted in his subject as well as his more prosaic walks through the ancient woods of Highgate treading the footsteps of Robert the Bruce. Sandy's disappearance will sadden neighbours, his many many friends and his loved and loving family.

I am usually a night owl and suddenly feel very sleepy. I slept for 8 hours today, but suddenly a strong drowsiness hit me. When I couldn't bear it, I left my work and went to bed to lie down.
Then I dreamed that I was sitting in a college classroom and I heard a familiar voice... Sandy it's you! It was a mess but I vaguely knew we were working on a project and saw you handing out bottles cut in half(1~2 liter plastic Coke bottle)
Suddenly I heard the voices of a group of children outside the window. A group of kindergarten children passed by the classroom window and stopped. Everyone thought it was cute, so they all looked out the window. Then Sandy walked out and greeted the girl who led the team. After playing with the children a little, he squatted down and pointed at one of the children with a blue ballpoint pen with gliters in his hand, and then the child said loudly: Unicorn!
In this scene, I suddenly realized that I was in a dream. I saw Sandy through the glass window in the dream. He was still so humorous and funny, and then I cried, and felt a girl running over and hugging me, and then I cried even harder... tissues are handed over.
Finally Sandy came back to the classroom and found out about this situation, he knew everything right away and said: Ohh silly boy! now you gonna blame me for my death, stop crying 😏 (He meant I would definitely blame him for making me cry)
I tried to wipe away my tears, nodded, and I woke up
I didn't have tears in my eyes, my mood was mixed with joy and sad. I'm so glad to see you again Sandy😊 you cheeky old man🤭
