If I am at home then around 2pm is always duck feeding time! Despite us having six cats, they always come out to greet me. They must be able to see colours because as soon as I pick up the orange bucket to go fill it with seeds and bread, they start gathering! The male ducks have lost all their 'show-off' feathers so it's mainly a sea of brown ducks at this time of year. It's a lovely break from working on a script and just gives me a little time to recharge and reflect.

I recently had the honour to conduct a service for a much loved husband, dad, brother, granddad, uncle and friend who was taken too suddenly and too soon. The chapel at Rushcliffe Oaks was packed which just showed how much he was loved and will be missed.
Many thanks to A M Buckingham for their care and professionalism as ever.
He was a real fun person to be around and had an eclectic taste in music. The final song really summed him up - both in style and with the lyrics (please find them and read them) - Reach for the Stars! The picture is of some roses that I picked from my garden before I raised a glass to this wonderful man. Red roses for everlasting love and yellow for happiness - from all his family and friends.

As a life-long Notts County fan, he probably would have preferred black and white roses in this picture but I haven't got those in my garden. Forgive me!

So recently I've been spending time in the garden trying to get some things sorted while the weather has been so nice. This included creating 4 new raised beds so I can grow more vegetables (plus my on-going battle with nettles and brambles!). As ever my husband was on hand to construct the beds and help put them in position ..... and fill them with compost, organic matter etc. Although I did lots of the heavy lifting - honest!
I happened to say that I thought maybe we should name them given how much effort they had taken.
So guess what - he did.
There is only one famous group of four that he could chose.

So I now have raised beds named -
Howling Mad Murdock
Templeton 'Face' Peck
John 'Hannibal' Smith
and
B A Baracus

All with their own hand engraved name plates!

Those of you of a certain age will recognise this as the A-Team.

See them in situ below .... with Tiger (the cat) probably just about to use one of them as a toilet!

So a few weeks ago Baguley Brothers Funeral Directors posted a couple of times showing their staff - the lovely Aimee and infinitely handsome Francis (he told me to say that!) - giving blood. They spurred me into action and I went on-line ( www.blood.co.uk )and booked an appointment to give blood. I first gave blood when I was 18 (many many years ago) and was giving regularly but then tattoos and life got in the way and I got out of the cycle. But no more! I went to my 'first' appointment, armed with my tatty blood book (see photo - that was what they used to use to record that you had given blood and when!) and gave blood in June.
Well things have changed! Such a smooth and quick process. A few more questions than you used to get asked but lots of friendly staff to help. The chairs that you sit in to give blood have improved as well... not that you are in them for long. I gave my arms worth (if you have seen Tony Hancock's famous sketch you'll get that reference) in under 6 mins! And then moved to have a sit down, a drink and a snack while I recovered (not that there is much to recover from).
That's a another thing that has improved..... lots of different crisps and biscuits to chose from ... and you could have more than one!

Booked my next appointment as soon as I got home.

And then after a few days, I got an email telling me what had happened to my blood...with a map of it's 'journey'. Never got that before! It's helped a patient in Pinderfields Hospital. Fantastic getting that update.

So my obvious simple message - give blood. Its quick. Its easy. You get free crisps/biscuits. And you could save someone's life one day.... Or you could need blood one day! One thing my job as a Funeral Celebrant has taught me its that you never know what's going to happen to you and when!

Thanks again Francis and Aimee at Baguley Brothers Funeral Directors
