I agree wholeheartedly with this from Sarah Bessey
The privilege of aging, of history and stories - I choose to embrace every moment because life really is so very precious.

Legacy is never in what's in our Cvs or certificates
Its always in those around us.
To all who I've shared the stories of from the youngest to the oldest you've left a legacy .
And those of us heading into another week - leave a legacy of love.

Wave of light
Thinking of all whose arms ache whether it was last week, last month, last year, the last decade or 50 years ago.

Occasionally I get to head out and take a wedding
This one was special to see
And to sit with families I'd previously worked with.
At the end I was even gifted some wellies thanks to a creative way we wrote the vows and a bit of a Di**le style celebration.

It's not essential but I know if someone was coming to visit me I would want to know if they are checked and safe.

I see white feathers everywhere now - Ive not worked out why I see so many but I know its a prompt or a kiss heaven sent

FEATHERS
I sent you a little white feather
I placed it right there in your way
I wrapped it in love with a message
to let you know you’ll be okay
I drew you a colourful rainbow
It followed your car for a while
I made a spectacular rainbow
I hoped it would show me your smile
I flew down a beautiful robin
It landed right there on your ledge
I prayed he would give you the strength
to push yourself back from the edge
I try every day to remind you
that I never did go away
the feathers, the rainbows, the robins
are my way of trying to stay.

A few weeks ago I was invited to the Great Northern Classic to see how they would host a wake or celebration of life. Perhaps if your loved one was into classic cars/motorbikes or even worked in a Rolls Royce shop this is a novel place to go.
Here's some more information
- Parking - There's plenty
- They are licenced but you could also bring your own in
- Catering hot and cold options are available
- Tv screens are available for images
- Wifi is available
- Its in the heart of a community and accessible

So maybe its a motorbike hearse your loved one wanted or a different style of transport - here would be a great place to head afterwards.

Things I'm grateful for today - My not so little boys are now finished for summer. - Yes I'll still be working but just for the next few weeks there's no ironing uniforms, no school runs, no alarms and no packed lunches. Enjoy the slower season enjoy time with your family.
