Growing old gracefully

I went to the churchyard today to take flowers to my dad's grave, I never do it on Father's Day as that day is for the dads that are here. We took a lovely basket of fushias and if he was here he'd be telling me to plant them in the garden instead.

We saw the three big events of life today....

1. A dad walking his very young baby around the churchyard trying to pacify him.

2. There was a wedding about to take place, we didn't see the bride but we did see the vintage cars, the London double decker bus for the guests, the beautifully dressed guests and the guests cars filling the village... Rolls Royces, Mercs, etc.

3. The flowers (at least four of the arrangements are 5ft high) from a gypsy funeral which took place in the week and had the police diverting all traffic away from the village as there were so many mourners.

The photo is of two lovely angels who live at the back of the old churchyard. They seen better days, but are still beautiful.
