Farewell Violet

Today we all travelled down to Violet’s funeral (my children’s grandmother). A beautiful service led by her children and grandchildren who really did justice to her whole long life. It must have been quite a revelation to the representatives of her care home sitting at the back of the church who only saw her in her last couple of years when she was very different from the lively dancing, poetry loving, collecting, houseproud, laughter filled lady we remember.
There was, predictably, a ‘lovely spread’ at the Amberwood...their favourite place, and lots of chance to catch up with extended family and friends and neighbours from over the years.
T dropped me at the airport where I caught up on work then had a late flight home.
