  • Sharry M's Funeral

    Today Sharry's many friends gathered to say good-bye to a very special lady. The crematorium was full to bursting with; her husband, Terry and two daughters: Louisa and Emma, bridge-playing friends, Mensa friends, quizing friends, 'What Now?'

    I have discovered WHY all the blog and forum listings showed 'old' entries. Looking at the left-hand side of the page there is a menu listing exactly what you want to see on the site - I always ticked the 'all' box but the menu had jumped to 'fund-raising', hence my mix of (mainly) old entries.
