Taking It Easy

After a busy week, followed by my Grandad's funeral on Friday, we decided we needed a quiet weekend to contemplate and to recharge our batteries.

 

Although extremely sad, the service on Friday was absolutely beautiful and exactly how my Grandad would have wanted it, I think. My mum found this poem which sums everything up beautifully and I wanted to share it with you:

 

His Journey's Just Begun

By Ellen Brenneman

Don't think of him as gone away-- his journey's just begun life holds so many facets this earth is only one.   Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.   Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.   And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost And he was loved so much.   ***   So back onto the recharging weekend - I spent some time in the kitchen making a comforting crumble for Sunday Lunch (Rhubarb this week)   preparing the fruits for the Christmas cake     I spent some time relaxing with a lovely magazine I've just discovered - if anyone knows where I can buy this in a shop please let me know, this one was ordered online.     Fabulous patterns!     and I also spent some time hooking up some spider webs for some Spooky Halloween Bunting (please excuse the awful state of my ironing board cover - nowhere else to block them!)     Pattern can be found here

 

Have you all had a lovely weekend?
