Minnie was a much loved guest at The Hudson Road Friendship Club when I worked there as the organiser, so it was a special ceremony for me today.
Her daughter had a photo of me dressed for Christmas at the club and was happy for me to share.

My posy for today’s Celebration of Life ceremony. I pick a special little posy for everyone. I wander around my garden thinking of them and try to make the flowers suit. The lady today had a great sense of style, I thought this elegant little posy was perfect.

At the end of the ceremony as the door was opened for me to walk out, in shot this huge, very self- possessed cat! He proceeded to walk about making everyone laugh and then stalked out. I was told that he was grumpy because someone was sitting on his favourite seat.
I have just been reading about Doorkins Magnificat, the cat of Southwark Cathedral but it seems that Charlton Park Crematorium has a cat too!

I love Naming Ceremonies, we all enjoyed ourselves and the Candle Ceremony is a great way of including everyone.
Thank you to Julia and Robby for letting me share this happy photo.

With a celebrant you can enjoy having your wedding ceremony just about anywhere you like!
Please feel free to message me if you would like to know more about how I can help you create a ceremony that is unique and perfectly suited to you both.

ps. This is me dancing at a party in a pond- a university stunt to raise money for charity. It was winter and we were absolutely freezing. As you can see, I will do anything for a good cause!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

This can be a difficult time of year for many people.
I hope you all find moments of light, peace and happiness, however you choose to celebrate.

Best wishes to all who celebrate. It is Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day. It cheers me to think of the daylight hours gradually increasing from this day.

We will remember them.
This poignant photo was taken of my father and friend at the very beginning of WW2. I do not know if his friend survived. They both look so young and excited, I find it very moving.

Whenever possible I like to visit families in their homes. When learning the story of a life and planning a ceremony it is so important to spend time together and hear anecdotes and descriptions, share both tears and laughter together. It is often in the little details that the character of a person can be captured.
At one such visit,I spotted this beautiful photograph and the lady’s family gave permission for me to share. Isn’t it tender and lovely?

I never get over the pleasure of finding the autumn’s first perfect conker.
Today’s ceremony was in a perfect setting, the beautiful peaceful wood at Michael’s Wood burial ground.

Having a tea break and little treat whilst getting some pouches of Robin food ready for Monday’s ceremony.

A special posy for a woman who loved travel and nature and walking in the countryside

Spending time with families and discussing the ceremony is a vital part of being a celebrant. I learn so much from hearing stories and memories about their loved ones and we so often have the most interesting conversations.
Today I was spoilt with tea and cake- what a treat!

My kittens bring me such joy but are not always conducive to work….

Henge Estate in Shrewton, Salisbury is a wonderful venue for a wedding. The Manor House dates from 1830, and can be hired for the weekend and there are the most beautiful grounds. My favourite place is the walled garden, where Alex and Phoebe had their ceremony. It was the perfect setting for a unique and very personal ceremony.

Yesterday’s posy. Some of the late summer flowers from my garden for a resilient, caring woman, who had a fabulous sense of humour.

After a busy day writing ceremonies, I really appreciated the beautiful evening skies. #lammas #endoftheday #beautifulskies #mydailywalk #salisburycelebrant

Beautiful midsummer- happy Summer Solstice

It’s a beautiful summer’s day, so I took a few moments away from my writing and went for a wander down my garden. I hope you enjoy it too.

Happy Anniversary Emily and Jordan- the best of days ###

Starting the day with my cat Mali. Everyone who is living alone at the moment will understand the joy our dearly loved creatures give us. So I thought I would share a bit of silliness to cheer your day.

I am fortunate to live where there is a wonderful community spirit. This snowball duel is not very well recorded (my apologies) but I am sharing it because I realise that the snow has brought back a sense of fun and laughter to us all. We are lucky in that it was only a light fall of snow that hasn't brought any hardship, just a few hours where we all had the chance to play. #happiness #snowballfight #laughterisgoodforthesoul

My brother Jon requested 'To Autumn ' by John Keats- a beautiful poem at any time of the year. Here's to you dear brother !

Thank you to everyone who has shown their appreciation of my poetry readings. If you would like to request a poem, I am still very happy to do so but I won't be reading one every day. I thought I would finish with a recording of birdsong in local woods.

Sonnet 17 by Pablo Neruda I am reading today's poem in celebration. A year ago my darling daughter Emily and Jordan became engaged. I couldn't be happier and send them both my love.

Finally my sense of humour (or is it the isolation?) has got to me Today's poem Invictus: The Unconquerable by William Ernest Henley
