When I die....

.... I would like to be cremated, and have my ashes placed beneath a silver birch overlooking Ullswater in the Lake District.

This one is on our street.

Today was my birthday, and for someone who suffers either really bad depression, probably the worst day of the year for me.

The build up, the expectations, then the crashing disappointment.

Today I had 7 cards ( wife, children, parents, sister, god mother, best friend, friend of my parents).

I genuinely hate birthdays, and to top it all off.... The food for tea was not great, and we lost at skittles by 5 points with me having my second mare of the year.

The only plus point is I like silver birch trees.
