About to vanish for two weeks

@Don

I met him at a funeral which I was conducting in the late 80's.

That funeral was memorable for all sorts of reasons - the biggest being that the cemetery was 4 miles from any road. I looked at the mourners and wondered how many of them would survive carrying the coffin the 4 miles to the cemetery.

But they'd thought of that and there was a tractor and trailer to carry the coffin.

Didn't it break down a couple of miles from anywhere.

From then on, things degenerated.

Keeping a straight face was tricky.

Sounds like a Spike Milligan script - hilarious!

Anyway, glad you enjoyed some clement weather for your holiday, and welcome back.

Cheers
