My previous post related the sad news of the death of a close friend, Anne. I have to say though that we all went to Anne's funeral the following Friday with a deep sense of grief, but by the end of it I especially felt a whole lot better.
The funeral service itself was a wonderful celebration of Anne's life and was attended by somewhere in the region of 250 people, the church was absolutely packed - literally standing room only.
The hymns and readings were lovely and the family were so brave I was in awe of their calm courage.
All I can say at the end of it is rest in peace dear friend, I know where you sleep and I will visit soon.

Sad Day

As well as the fact I have een so busy of late the thing that I think drove me back to publish a new post tonight was the news earlier today of the death of a good friend from cancer after a struggle going on for nearly 3 years.

Anne was a lovely lady with never a bad word to say about anyone and always a smile for most
occasions. As a co worker she was without peer and a COBOL programmer of great talent. I will miss her dreadfully as will we all.

I am going home with thee, to thy home, to thy home,
I am going home with thee, to thy home of winter,
I am going home with thee, to thy home, to thy home,
I am going home with thee, to they home of autumn, of sprint and of summer.
I am going home with thee, thy child of my love to thy eternal bed to thy perpetual sleep.

God rest you Anne  
 

Thought I was going to have lots of time!

Well acording to my last post I thought I would have plenty of time to get some things down here to keep you all entertained.

That just did not happen!! Been busy doing lots of things including a three day expedition into the heart of one of the most remote parts of Scotland - Knoydart.

Absolutely stunning scenery but truly trying weather with a howling gale and horizontal rain for a couple of days. That being said I would still go there again like a shot.
