First Blog Post!

Hi everyone.  My first blog post!  So I thought I would just let you know what I have been up to this week, really busy preparing for the Awakened Event at Tapeley Park on the Bank Holiday weekend.  More Funerals booked which is always sad, but, at the same time it is a real honour to ensure that the ceremonies I provide bring peace to the family who know the send off was perfect for them and the person who has passed away.
Keith and I have, at last, been to see the lovely Alan Schofield who was our wedding photographer. The pictures are stunning and we had a bit of a task picking our favourites.  Alan not only took stunning pictures but he was a massive part of our day and helped kept everything running smoothly - that included helping me in to my dress and adjusting a few button holes at the church!  Alan, we cannot thank you enough.
I will post once a week just to let you know what is going on and give you some things to think about should you be having a baby, getting married or preparing to say goodbye to a loved one.
