Hiya Have been reading your blogs for a while now, and this one has to be the best so far! From the nightmare of the boat to seeing all of those amazing and strange things that happens at their funerals, really was a good read! Thanks for keeping me occupied at work in grey London :-)

Sorry!
We know it's pretty gross Mell but this really is how things are done out there.. just be thankful you didn't have to step over it all and worry you might slip over!!
