We’ve bought ourselves an alarm clock. Alexa is her name.
She talks to us in cheery tones,
Every day and night the same.
This morning, she cheerfully announced “it’s 5:45”
And we emerged slowly from our bed,
It was dark and cold, but no time to skive,
“It’s time for gym” she said.

Well, thanks Alexa. Wanted to pull the duvet tighter but, up with the larks and listening to the world awakening. Nodded to the usual early morning gym goers, getting it done before their day starts and as always, felt better when we left the gym. This morning there was a full moon sat midst a clear blue sky and I said a little prayer. Just a short “Thank you” for allowing me another day to do stuff. Then home for a fresh coffee and a shower. Simple pleasures that seem more satisfying as I get older. 🙏

Bob Marley once said that “The greatness of a person is not in their wealth but in their ability to affect others positively.”
Heather leaves a legacy of kindness, patience and friendship. (And lots of knitted blankets!) We should all try and be more like Heather.

Sometimes it’s just nice to be able to be involved and enjoy other’s successes. Yesterday was all about cheering on old friends and those 545ers and today’s activities are fuelled by local caffeine expert .

When Arthur passed away aged 104, he left behind a legacy of happiness and laughter. Had you met him, you would likely never have known about his early years because he played down his involvement in the horrors of WW2. Having spent 3 years away from home, he recorded in his diary ‘I was home. England, this sceptered isle, set in a silvery sea.’ Reading those words during Arthur’s service brought a lump to my throat.
Arthur put those horrors behind him and spent a long life without a faith but being kind and caring. Thank you and God bless. If there is something after, you are now in a nice place.

Bombed by Stukas in Egypt, being told to escape and evade Rommel’s advance or be shot and all whilst a boy sailor. Arthur never spoke about his war service but left a diary in which he recounted that he and his shipmates spent so long at sea, they had lots of money to spend when they finally got ashore and didn’t see the point in saving any as ‘tomorrow wasn’t guaranteed.’ He also recorded the moment he saw ‘the crystal waters of this beautiful isle’ after 3 years away serving his King and Country.
Having lived a wonderful life of adventure, at a grand age of 104, Arthur bids farewell to his family on Friday. Sir, thank you for your service and the legacy you leave behind 🫡

As we approach the end of what has been a challenging year with the loss of our elders and our beloved faithful canine companion, my wife and I did actually consider leaving the Christmas tree in its box. I was however already committed to being part of a Christmas Remembrance Service which was organised by COOP Funeralcare. The bonhomie and opportunity to reflect on our personal journey and memories did the trick. Joining our guest singers .g.d and in beautiful renditions of Silent Night and Good King Wencleslas reminded me that we are all on a journey. There is still a lot of goodness to share and the soothing words of Reverend Carol Gully hit home. Each day is a blessing and an opportunity to be thankful. Wishing everyone a very Happy and peaceful Christmas with your loved ones and those special memories. 🎄

Nick was the Celebrant for my dad’s funeral in November 2025. He came highly recommended by a family member and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
He was professional, compassionate, caring and personable.
My dad would have been proud of the send off Nick led on our families behalf.
Thank you Nick.

Funerals. Have you thought about yours? Of course not…you’ve plenty of time and anyway, it’s morbid isn’t it?
Well…have you? And is it…really?

We are quite Victorian still in the UK when it comes to dying which by the way, will happen, sooner or later.
My Mum (bless her) tricked me into sitting down and listening to her wishes and I’m so pleased that she did. She took comfort from knowing that her wishes would be respected and we never spoke of it again. When she passed, everything was in place and it wasn’t as stressful as it would have been otherwise…thanks Mum.
My wife and I now have a funeral plan with COOP which is underwritten and paid for. Whatever happens to the cost of dying in the future, I know that the cost of my funeral is completely covered. Our kids know that other than ensuring that Hotel California and Heart of Oak are played, they need do nothing other than perhaps say ‘Cheers Dad.’ It’s a relief and it’s now in a drawer until the day arrives.
If you have a family, take out a plan but be careful. Some are simple cash pots that will only go towards the costs whilst others will guarantee that your family need pay no more.

A nation that forgets its heroes will itself soon be forgotten.

We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 🫡🇬🇧

I doubt that anyone actually knows what happens once our time on earth is over. We all have our beliefs that there is either a God and creator or that we evolved from some magic of science. But I got to thinking recently, after taking the service for a family who had lost someone who had fought demons their entire adult life. This person made mistakes, like we all do but these mistakes involved becoming dependent on drugs that ruined his health and relationships. The same person also had a belief in a higher power and used that belief to help him fight those demons. That person won his fight and made his peace with those he thought he had lost forever. Although his battle came at a price, he died young but knowing that he was loved by those he cared about and he wanted his family to make the most of every single day in his memory.
I knew this man during his darkest moments and sadly didn’t get to enjoy the real version of him. But those close to him did for which he was so grateful and although his time with those he loved was short, he found peace and happiness…bitter -sweet in every sense.

That Great British sense of humour can still be found in the most unlikely places. Not everyone will be able to find the humour in this entrepreneurial effort to bring a little light (and caffeine) into a difficult day but it made me smile. A coffee van parked outside a crematorium gave mourners an opportunity to share their thoughts and memories over a warm drink. 🫶🏻
