Happy Winter Solstice - May the next cycle be a better one for all those who, like my family, lost dearly loved ones this year.

Grief is a kind of homesick that never really goes away 🤍

It was a huge honour today to be the celebrant for this wonderfully fitting farewell to a well-loved, incredibly accomplished man, a true legend. The very special touches arranged by his wonderful family and friends were amazing. They all did him so proud, as did Tracey Rimmer from Whitehouse Funeral Service and all the team 🥰

✨A little reminder this Christmas✨

Don’t forget to send a Christmas card to your loved one in heaven.

Our Letters to Heaven postbox is here for anyone who wishes to share a message, a memory or a little piece of their heart with someone they miss dearly.

Christmas can be a beautiful but emotional time and writing a card can bring comfort, connection and a moment of piece.

Our grounds and the post box are accessible 365 days a year and 24 hours a day.

I had the great honour of conducting a beautifully intimate private family funeral for a wonderful family man this morning. His lovely daughter Diane gave me these earrings when we met for me to wear today as her dad was a chocaholic! I was very touched when she also gifted me this gorgeous sea glass keepsake following the service. People’s capacity for kindness and thoughtfulness during the worst time of their lives always astounds me 🥰
