Quite a busy day. Service of remembrance in the village – as usual I walked down with Tia, the third dog to sit quietly at my side during the service. The 2 minute silence was only broken by bird song and the church clock chiming the hour. Tia was not even fazed by the firing of a (recorded) canon at the end of the 2 minute silence. It is a lovey outdoor service in the centre of the old village, especially on a day of warm autumn sunshine, as today was.
Traditional family Sunday roast – we were joined by Matt, Steven, Andree and Keith, with lots of talking – mostly by Andree and Keith…
This afternoon I went to Lutterworth Methodist Church where I had been invited to a special memorial service, held each year to remember friends and family associated with the Church. It was a traditional Methodist Service, and I was able to light a candle a receive a rose in remembrance of Mum and Dad. Afterwards it was nice to catch up with old friends at the church over a cup of tea – this was “my” church through most of my childhood and for many of my adult years.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
