Morning Maddie, Joy, Von & Fly <3 <3 <3<3 :-D :-D :-D :-D

We've had rain, sleet and snow.... it's raining again now :-0

Alexa is telling me it's a balmy 2 degs :-0 :-0

It's my SiL's funeral today :-( <3. Reluctantly I had decided not to go in person as I felt it was too far for me to drive by myself plus I would need to take Ralph :-0 With the weather as it is I'm pleased I'd already made that decision :-). It is being livestreamed so I'll will be there if not in person <3

Morning all :-) <3

We've had driving rain all night and at 9.30am it started snowing and it's still coming down steadily :-(

Definitely a staying in day if possible.

Belle, I hope it goes well <3 The livestreaming makes such a big differrence for those who can't travel. We were able to buy rememberance books of Bob's funeral for my two sisters who don't use technology. They are like little Ipads inside a book cover and when charged (which we did before sending) all you have to do is open the front cover and the funeral shows and stops when you close it. What would our ancestors have thought of that !

Morning Again :-D <3

We had snow from 9am, and unfortunately I did have to go out. I was like Nanook of the North, the amount of clothes I had on :-D :-D

I am not one for hoods, but was pleased I could pull it up.

Morning everyone :-) <3

A dry, cold start, now it's wet and dreary with forecast of 'heavy rain'.
Haven't seen any snow, but I wouldn't be suprised if we had at least sleet soon :-0

Belle, will be thinking of you <3

Kath, that sounds a lovely way to include family.
I hadn't heard of that before.

Keep warm and safe everyone <3

Gwyn, apparently it was something new at the time. We were the first ones to order the books from our local crematorium. They really are something extra on top of the livestreaming service for anyone who isn't able to watch a live stream. My two sisters were really grateful for them. They are both abroad and don't use computers or mobile phones at all.

Afternoon all :-D :-D :-D

Bloomin' cold here, nearly froze my fingers off just bringing something indoors from outside - well it was cold metal :-0
Our snow has been cancelled but it's forecast to be c-c-c-cold over the next few days.

Yes, thanks Fly....a sad occasion but I'm hoping that people can start to move on now....it was such a long time from her passing to the funeral where everyone was in limbo <3
