Obituary

My Mother died on 8th March and today it was her funeral. I think she would have enjoyed it. Tim, her eldest Grandchild talked about her life and what she meant to him, Georgina (my daughter) read a piece from this blog - the bit about her founding a scout group when she was about 18 and Simon (Adria's eldest) read the piece about her falling in the river in Patagonia in her late 70's. On the back was a picture of her on an ice field in Canada, sitting on a deck chair, cigarette hanging from her mouth and a plate of oysters in her lap. A helicopter has just deposited her there on a fishing trip.

We then went on to the Rainbow on the Lake at Steeple Langford and had a lovely time catching up with all the people who had admired her during her life.

Adria and Conrad did all the arrangements for the funeral which was brilliant. My thanks to them.

Thanks also to Linda F who posted the first comment that this blog has received.
