Saying goodbye

Jen's funeral was yesterday.  It was a sad but exceptionally beautiful event.  Tears and laughter; with the laughter probably the greater part.  Just what the lovely lady herself would have wanted.  Loads of people turned up at the crem for the very non-religious celebration of her life and all five of her grandchildren made everyone exceptionally proud by sharing some very poignant memories of their beloved grandma.  Lots of colour in evidence as she left strict instructions to that effect!

Back to The Rose and Crown in Tonbridge for a lovely spread of sarnies, cakes, canapés etc.  The guys there did us proud!  This is where we have the monthly Tweet Up although The Woo and I have missed the last couple due to circumstances beyond our control.  It's a great place for an informal function and the staff are always so helpful and pleasant.  Highly recommended.

Then it was back to Coppins HQ for a serious family piss up.  The Woo and I don't remember getting home and David can't remember anyone leaving...so it was clearly a good do and well needed!

5am alarm for me this morning as I was doing my first day on the fish counter at Waitrose.  The walk in certainly cleared my head and I had a great day.  Thoroughly enjoyable.  I'm there most Thursdays and Fridays now so pop in and say hello (and buy some fish!) if you're passing.
