This weekend was MrG's funeral Up North. Unlike the Swansea People who had to leave at 2am to do it in a day trip I split my journey into two by popping into Ece's halfway up. It made the drive up not so long and meant that she could come as well.
Which was nice.
Legally Blonde has some details of the service that I wouldn't know, but needless to say the church was packed and it was a beautiful service. The trip to the cremetorium was a bit more intertesting.... having been stopped by a red light we lost sight of the Swansea Coach we were following, thankfully a lucky guess at the next roundabout and a controlled right-turn meant that we were able to spot the coach before it left the road we were on and roadsigns from then on meant that we were able to find our way.
Which was lucky.
It was nice to catchup with several people that I hadn't seen (in some cases for over a year) for a while. A bit of gentle gossip and chit-chat before heading back to the Midlands. That way Ece and I could go to the pub and then get soaked walking home. And did I have spare trousers......????
Next morning it was off to the Happy-Clappy Church, where as Ece was with the little kiddies I got to sit in the old pews at one side that had kneelers and got to be as High Church as I possible could. Mwhahahaha!!! It was a baptism (I kid thee not, the child's name was Christian) which I thought made a nice ballance for the weekend.
A goodbye and a hello.
p.s. this time at HCC I was confused for Ece's brother, last time it was her boyfriend. I'm hoping to be reconized as a seperate individual next time... but I shan't hold my breath!!!
n.b. explained myself at the end of the last post for those who are interested.
