We had over 12 guests this weekend, and a cousin from America staying, and of course a power cut! Which meant that I boiled water in saucepans on the wood burner, to have a bath, to get ready for my Father s funeral today. It was a beautiful day, and a very happy service, and his hat, bottle of whisky and a brace of partridges were on top of the coffin and then were buried with him. A bit like a Viking warrior s burial with all the required possessions for the next life
