I can't make it either as my aged parents are arriving from Australia tomorrow for an all too brief stay. I will go to my quiet place in the garden at the right time and send my thoughts to you all and to Col. I hate crematoria funerals anyway, but I would have liked to sing him on his way. There's something very healing about a large crowd of folkie friends belting out a big chorus in someone's memory.

The photo link on the other thread of Col and duckling is so beautiful, I will hold that in my mind as I do my little solitary ritual.

I think from now on, Father Christmas will have ColK's face for me.....

Love Lynne
