So, one of the most common questions we get asked is “what do ye dee when there’s nae funerals?”.
Well, we clean the hearse, vans and car, clean the windys and the lavys, hoover and dust, prepare coffins, swipe the car park or clear snow.
But if we all get a clear Saturday and there’s snow in the field next to our house, we play, still on calll mind.
Life’s short, enjoy it whilst you can🏂❤️
