I have just returned home to Gloucestershire through incessant rain after the Thanksgiving service yesterday that took place in Sherborne Abbey embraced by glorious sunshine. Thanks are due to all who made the effort to attend and be so warm - especially those who traveled many many miles. I have just asked the web-masters here - who seem a wonderful bunch, if we can upgrade the site so that before too long it will have the capacity to host some video that I took at the service, and some interviews with the family that Luke Thompson made on the day... here are links so you can catch these three videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/offpatsmile#p/a/u/1/20tnQsMsLKA http://www.youtube.com/user/offpatsmile#p/a/u/0/83AfF_6v8hs http://www.youtube.com/user/lytrules#p/a/u/0/dZwObJETuXY To pay for this much enlarged capacity I have put a note on the front page - look under the heading "donate" this will steer you as to how to donate to muchloved.com, which is fundamentally a free memorial web site, in aid of the bereaved, run by them as a charity. The extended site cost is small, but will enable it to be here for a longer time as well (as long as the internet runs) and be able to support many more photographs, video clips and pieces of music. I have also asked those who contributed to the thanksgiving service in the family words section to send their words either to me via email (you can contact me via this site too) or "contribute" to this site under the "thoughts" section - so you may well find this space filling up over the next year or six - as did I when I first saw the site go live...
