Planting of ashes

After breakfast in the hotel we agreed to drive down to Landacre bridge to bury half of the ashes of Grandma Betty and Grandad Ralph. We arrived at 11am. Uncle Hugh had chosen this location as he knew that they had spent time here and taken all of us here in the past to enjoy the Moore's.
Great hilarity followed when it came to light that Alistair was supposed to bring a spade and had apparently forgotten (although he was yet to arrive). Christo dug through the car and found the most pathetic pink beach spade and a metal ground anchor. We made reasonable progress on digging a hole before Alistair finally arrived having gone via B&Q to purchase a spade! There was no ceremony to all this - but plenty of laughter and mockery.
Afterwards I took some photos of the three brothers and then the whole group at the bridge.
