It's when you realise someone your own age is gone that it hits you. You think how many things you want to do in life, where you want to go, how you want to climb etc. . . when someone your own age is taken away like that it is such a waster of aspirations.

Went to the funeral of a very dear friend today who had been battling - and beating - leukemia for a few years, he had a bone marrow transplant last week which went perfectly but then he contracted a chest infection which just took him in hours. It was a full on Roman Catholic service, all in Latin with lots of swinging these things full of smoke - I've never been to a mass before....  :-[

I wouldn't normally post something like this up here but I had to post it for Marky's sake....

The family had obtained a license and Jeremy was buried at home in a little Beech copse he had recently planted in a field behind the house. He'd brought in a MASSIVE rock to shelter where he would be buried [think he had this all planned out for a while :-\]

Anyway, the reason I've posted this is because his wicker casket was taken from the hearse parked in the lane and across the field on a trailer pulled by a little Massey 1010 with a Lewis loader... I imagine that Marky would have approved of it as a send off ;)

It was, as funerals go a really lovely day if tremendously sad, but I had to smile when I saw Jeremy bobbing across his field on the back of his little tractor :'( :)

Seeing my Granny And Grandads house, were i spent nearly all of my earlier childhood, being put into a pile of rubble  :( :(  Used to spent days carpet farming in there  :-\

That must have been hard - why don't you take something and incorporate it to your model farm - like make a building or something? Then you will always think of them in a good way when you use it.

Exactly the same as a kiddy I went to school with Simon. He was up at the specialist place near Oxford. Had the op, all was well. Bit of a coomplication with his chest, got a secondary infection somewhere else because of it and that was that.  :(

Reading the pig slaughter topic - Cerin pointed it out to me and we had a discussion about it. There's no excuse for animal cruelty of this nature.  :'(

When we first came to Cornwall, Cerin's first job was pig walking. They were British Middle Whites and like all pigs, they had real personality. He got third prize at Royal Cornwall for his pig walking skills - we have it on video!

I am sure if the pig guy had put an advert on FTF one of us would have given them a good home.

God Sean that must have been difficult to watch at that age, even with things done properly.  The charity that I was banging on about before ( Farm Crisis - when Simon was deciding who to donate his drinking money to!) would have helped that guy - they are like the farming communities Samaritians.
