Wow Caroline, that looks fabulous!
I'm sure your cousin will understand if you don't go to the funeral, perhaps someone nearer would take the opportunity to attend. When my friend's husband died last year there was a video made of the service and she provided a link so that we could watch it online. Maybe they will do something similar.
My day:
Windy again today, a grey start but became much more pleasant as the day wore on. I'd been thinking of going to the beach but couldn't seem to summon the energy. Stayed in my usual area instead, had a walk across the railway bridge, a train was coming under as I crossed, the drivers always sound their horn at that point before coming to a bend, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Walked down the track at the other side, up the steps to cross the lines then a walk back through the woods.
Tuesday's forecast is up to an amazing 19 degrees and sunny, I'll want to be in the back garden so decided to cut the front lawn. I also edged the flowerbeds, trimmed the shrubs and weeded the ground around them. Had a chat with my lovely neighbour when she came in, she's going to send some Easter Sunday dinner round for me, bless her.
In the back garden I planted some cuttings I'd taken in the autumn from a perennial wallflower and from a Sweet William. Sorted out lots of pots and emptied the ones where the contents hadn't survived the winter. Put some more Sweet Peas in pots to germinate, I hope they grow. Apparently you have to keep picking the flowers so that the plant keeps making them.
Was pretty tired after my gardening afternoon so just took some curry out of the freezer, nice and easy. Chicken curry all round!
