Overdosing on loveliness
It was a lovely church in a lovely Berkshire town sitting on the bank of the lovely Kennet and Avon Canal and full of really lovely people. The subject of this memorial was Mary, a centenarian and woman of great fun and radiant beauty, the latter a characteristic which had been passed on through her three beautiful daughters, their daughters and their daughters’ daughters. And sideways this characteristic was evident in the cousins’ and their issue too.
I’d never been to such an event with so many beautiful people.
And as always, I had my own beauty at my side.

Thanks Christopher and Peter. It was a lovely day, despite the passing of Mary. And traffic problems on the return journey prompted a surprise visit to the McBrevities too, which rounded things off well.

Thanks Drew. There were some extraordinarily good looking people there, including a fairly well-known actress. A beautiful location, to which, unbeknownst to us, by pure chance the McBrevities had been for a funeral the week before.
