Grateful to receive these kind words from H’s family..

Big write Monday, a day of script writing..
💕

Writing stories inspired by people lives..
💕

Tales of family, friends and communities..
💕

Always unique, relevant and personal..
💕

It helps when I’m surrounded by things that are personal and invoke memories for me (hence the “stuff” on my desk!)
Even my imposter syndrome mug 🤦‍♀️

I glance at this photo everyday..
Today it has extra meaning..

Please use your

Vote for those that fought and died so you could..

Vote because there are many who still don’t have the democratic right..

Vote because you have a choice, a 13 hour window to do it in, and no one intimidating you at the ballot box..

Vote to show the next generation the importance of democracy..

It may not be a perfect system but we all have a part to play and a voice to use..

Oh .. and don’t forget your ID 😎

Yesterday we celebrated L’s naming day and 1st birthday
🎈

Lots of his little friends came to the party and they created colourful keepsake stones for him
🎈

One by one when I called out their names they proudly popped the stones into this pot
🎈

Three guideparents were appointed who each read out individually crafted promises to L
🎈

We celebrated L’s given names, in Gaelic meaning 🦊and 🐻

And we ended with a dance off to “I’m a little lizard standing on a rock” (look it up for some ear worm fun😎)
🦎

I’m in the middle of script writing for upcoming naming ceremonies..
💕

It’s Springwatch season too (I’m a big fan) ..
🪺

I’m also trying to grow tomatoes (hence the photo..fingers crossed they’re coming along nicely)
🍅

A tenuous link maybe..but

I’ve received some wonderful, heartfelt and caring words that will be read by Guideparents on naming days, all relating to the importance of

Watching a variety of birds on springwatch lovingly create nests, brood,hatch,feed and protect their chicks and fiercely

And the act of sowing,watering,tending to plants (and the occasional chat with them!) is in its simplest form

Happy Friday all
💕

Hoping you feel nurtured and loved

Wanted to post a on here today…

But as it’s good to be honest.. and share the good and the not so good…

Let’s just say my current mood is 🤬
(For a myriad of reasons..)

Tomorrow will be a better day…

Luckily my fave local coffee shop is all about love and positivity..

As part of encouraging important and tender conversations with loved ones about their funeral wishes I’ve found a good place to start is music..
🎶

This could be a discussion about a favourite artist, songs or lyrics, a tune that invokes a time, place or special memory..
🎵

My “it’s goodbye from me” file as I like to call it contains a whole list of song suggestions currently including an eclectic mix of Elvis, Faithless, Rufus Wainwright and Maria Callas!
🎶

Any discussion can help make a difficult time a little easier, It’s an act of love for your loved ones when the time comes..
💕








💕

08/05/2024

This Dying Matters Awareness Week we are encouraging everyone to get talking about death, dying, and your wishes for after death.

Up front conversations about end of life care and funeral plans will make it easier for your loved ones when the time comes.

50 years separate pic 1 and 2, after hanging up his boxing gloves my Grandad on my mum’s side of our family was the park keeper at Springfield park in Hackney…

I’ve found the spot where the photo was taken and a very kind park visitor took my photo…

Albert was a kind and gentle man and responsible for my introduction to tennis, my first racket coming from the parks lost property store!

The 3rd photo is him in his £5 a fight boxing heyday, 4 and 5 are his brother Arthur who was the most successful of the “Fighting Danahars”

I arrived home to find this lovely bunch of blooms outside my front door

A kind gift from someone I helped in a very small and simple way

It reminded me how important gestures are.. the giving and receiving

They’ve brightened my kitchen and my day
