Sometimes you gotta get out your big boy lens and take pictures of Juvenile Seagulls, because they have the biggest Seagull chicks in the world here as they have worked out that people are dumb enough to eat their fish and chips on the sea front.
"I'll be using Co-Op for the funeral. I would have used Clive, but he was SUCH a NAUGHTY BOY at school there is no way I could tolerate it." Clive our local undertaker is in his late 70s and she literally held a grudge for 7 decades.
I have just been reminded of a story. I was at my Aunt's memorial service & me and the cousins were all chatting with our local Vicar. He asked us if we all knew Henice. Henice was our Yr 1 Primary school teacher. She was awful. So the story goes that her husband passed & the good reverend goes to do his duty. At the end of the visit, she pulls him aside and says:

This afternoon I went to see an Aunt who had some family photos for me.
