give his approval for their inclusion in his lifetime.” The subject in question was the travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor, and he remained adamant. Hardy relates how James Morwood (Emeritus Fellow of Wadham, and editor of the Wadham Gazette) "visited him later in his Greek home to ask about his friendship with Bowra (on behalf of Leslie Mitchell, Bowra’s biographer), he found that the hurt of reading the poems was still smarting.” Fermor died in June 2011, and Hardy and Morwood published the two offending poems in the Wadham Gazette in December that year. The two poems were The Wounded Gigolo and On the Coast of Terra Fermoor. Family and personal life In 1979 Hardy married the historian of medicine Anne Wilkinson. They separated in 2004, and divorced in 2012. They have two children, Ellen (b. 1983) and Michael (b. 1985). Hardy married Mary Merry in 2013, and now lives with her in Wirral. On 16 March 2021, Hardy suffered a cardiac arrest, which would probably have killed him had he not been taken to hospital shortly beforehand after a series of blackouts.
