What sort of music do you have in a Humanist funeral?
Whatever you like! You can have anything from Meatloaf to Mozart, Elgar to Elvis, The Beatles to Beethoven or anything inbetween.
You’re the person planning the ceremony and you get to choose.

Almost as good as the hot version on Christmas Day, cold turkey put into a sandwich with stuffing, salt and pepper is one of the best treats of the season.

I came across this plate a few days ago. It seems to show two archers, possibly wearing skull masks, shooting arrows at a bowl of fruit. So many questions...

A cold, frosty and slightly snowy morning but the sun's shining, we're generating a little bit of electricity and we haven't got to go anywhere.

Enough to look nice but not enough to disrupt the day.
I have a funeral ceremony to take this afternoon and I won't have to worry about getting there. As for the family, that's another matter; they have further to travel.

Monday is the hardest day of the week. It's also the loveliest day of the week.
Monday is the day we look after our three-year-old grandson. You can't get better than that!

Like our lives, a once magnificent tree rots, but nothing is lost and nothing is wasted. The fungus that produces the mushrooms recycles the stump and the roots, releasing its chemicals and freeing the space it once filled.
As Tim Rice puts it
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all

When it is a dark, grey mid October day, it's easy to imagine that this will be the weather for the next five months. Hopefully, the reality will be a little different.

A lovely celing painted with the major constellations from a time when most people felt they had little agency in their own lives. Humanism is the confidence that we have that agency and that we are our own arbiters of right and wrong, rather than a supernatural entity.
