Today I dropped in on the folk’s grave at Littlewick Green Church and put the barrel with the tulips down in place of the heather and grass barrel, that does the winter shift, to add a little bit of spring colour. It makes such a difference after a long winter. The next job will sowing some more grass seed, and trying to solve the age old problem up there of what flowers will survive the wild life eating it??? It used to infuriate Mum 🥰

Normally I find the churchyard a really calm and comforting place, and today began like that as normal. However, I soon realised that a funeral was due to take place as cars began to arrive. If I had known when I pulled in I wouldn’t have stayed and come back another time. This triggered a couple of things. Firstly, I felt like a bit of an intruder and it just didn’t feel right to be there at that particular time. I didn’t stay for long and made sure I was away before the actual funeral party arrived. The other thing was that I was immediately transported back to both my parent’s funerals which did make me feel sad. To be fair I am in a really good place at the moment and I was able to calmly process my feelings and let them pass, so it was all ok and this is processing grief a little more.

How crazy has the weather been today… A real blast of winter to remind us that we aren’t quite rid of it just yet. Bitterly cold with fast moving sunshine and snow flurries even down here in the Thames Valley. I’m glad that I decided to wear thermals to work, as they were most definitely needed!

Looking forward to the start of the weekend tomorrow, as I am heading up to Leeds for an overnight stop at my brother’s, which will mean he looks after Prince while I go and see The Alarm. It should be a great night! Until tomorrow x
