Today I was present as 2 families mourned the passing of loved ones.

Not being able to attend funerals in lockdown I joined (socially distantly) with others to stand at the roadside as the funeral cortège passed by. It was very moving actually.

Remembering Connie, my Mum’s lovely friend.


And remembering Lorna’s Mum. Lorna’s Mum and Dad have lived in the same house for 60 years since they married. The whole street came out to pay their respects. It was both moving and supportive and ironically the most sociable thing I’ve done for ages.
