Been a busy day. Two funerals. Before that, though, attended early service at seven thirty a.m. Saw a green woodpecker in the Churchyard, with the sun on his back. Lovely colours. Then at midday Arthur's funeral. Arthur, who was in his early nineties, for some time attended the same lip reading class as I did. Then four or five years ago he started attending the scrabble club as a beginner. Despite being a learner and despite his increasing deafness, he steadily improved his game, and became a very respectable player. Five of us from scrabble club attended his funeral.
Then at three this afternoon our friend Eileen's funeral was held at Saint Mary's Church. The Church was packed. Friend Hilary took the Service and Eileen's son Peter gave the eulogy. It was a very moving service. She was much loved.

Just seen your progress report on my blog, thank you so much for agreeing to look at the clock, I know Ian is pleased that one day we'll have his family clock chiming too.
We enjoyed meeting you both at Z's lunch.
Madeleine.
Two funerals in a day, how sad.
Hello Z. Yes, we both felt a bit battered by the end of the day.
