My wife and I decided to go for “bagged, burnt and bottled” for our funerals. All paid for in advance. No family or friends just the crematorium staff. When our ashes get home we have agreed what to do with them. I am being disposed of in thirds :- first third to a Munro, Cairn Toul, second to a valley where our family had three allotments in the 1950’s onwards and lastly in the back garden at her Mum's where I proposed to my wife to be. If my wife goes first, perish the thought, she wants her ashes to go over the Millau Viaduct, something we never managed in all our trips to France then to have her ashes scattered in her beloved back garden here at home. Why don't you take Anne over the viaduct whilst she's still able to enjoy it.

Also, unfortunately, my beloved wife has long term medical problems.

Also, unfortunately, my beloved wife has long term medical problems. Seems a pity not to have a new blue passport when so much was given up to achieve it. Are you on a waiting list, or just not bothering to apply? By the way, I'm sorry to hear Anne has health problems, but it must be reassuring to know you have the NHS to provide timely care.

Using my MP and the Freedom of Information Act they are awaiting printing in Poland! I thought that they (the Blue ones) were printed in Paris.

I think there are various places they print from but none in the UK. Any idea why.

Watched the France versus Germany football tonight. Spoilt by a rather poor (to me)referee. However, it will be less painful when England win the final against Germany!

Do the blue passports supercede the black passports that superceded the burgundy coloured ones? I've seen them, they're black.
Black ■ Blue ■
I hope that helps.

Just destroyed our faithful old laptop. Very useful in France but hardly used in England due to the all singing and dancing tower computer we have here. It was so slow even after a seeing to by a professional computer lady that she kindly wiped it clean and I've just reduced it to it's component bits. Goodbye old mate!

I need to slow down when I'm reading. I read "after a seeing to by a professional lady computer" and imagined it covered in lovebytes. No wonder it's in bits.
