A service today for a family I have now supported twice, as the dear wife of the smashing man I celebrated in May passed away recently.

What struck me as I arrived was the first image.

We can feel cold, still and frozen in our grief and thoughts for the future, but not far away, always, is a sunny moment and new life and scenery.

Stay well, all

There are days when my place of work is truly beautiful.

A service today, to properly celebrate the life of an irrepressible character, who was loved hugely by many people.

The Funeral Director said it was the most laughter she had heard at a service which, considering the person we were honouring, is about as good as praise could get.

A few minutes taken outside afterwards, to breathe deep, take these photos and be reminded that life goes on, always.

Stay well, all

Grey, funeral-like weather today, but this place has history, living everywhere.

A service to 6 people, with more overseas on the webcast than in attendance, so I spoke to them directly too, through the lens, after we had all turned and waved to them.

Before leaving, a message came from New Zealand saying they felt part of it, like they were there and it had been really powerful.

Small things, but important things.

Stay well, all

Sat on my preferred bench, watching koi carp drift and swish, after helping a family by delivering a Celebration of Life service today.

A quick edit before the service, to include a special story from a young person who was attending her first funeral, and wanted to know when the "box" would arrive.

Thinking on your feet and moving quickly is essential in this job, even when your boots may feel heavy.

But there's always a lamp-post from Narnia to find or a story to ponder, to make your steps lighter.

Stay well, All
