Dear Dad,
Well mate, we scattered your ashes.
It was a beautiful Day, clear and calm, and unusually warm
Mum, the Harrisons, the Newths, Paula, Andy and Sam came up to scatter your ashes on the front block. We originally planned to scatter you up by the first gate, but we were thwarted by too much grass on the top track. Can you Believe that? TOO MUCH GRASS! You've never seen anything like it.
So once it became apparent we weren't getting any further up the hill we quickly concoted a plan B, and found a suitably monumental stone to scatter your ashes near, and plant the Grandma Roberts Rose Jenny carefully selected out of the garden.
Anyway, pictures speak a thousand words:
The View
Your Rock
Paula, Mum, Sam, Case and Jen getting to the spot
Mike and Lucy in front of your rock
Your Rose
Mike, Case, Mum and Sam digging the hole for your Briar Rose
Case, Jen, Andy, Sam, Mum and Paula observing the digging
Mike, Cam, Jae and Mike
The boys
Look at the grass! Unbelievable!
We buried about half of the ashes under the Rose
And put flowers around the base of it (Case and Lucy)
You'd like it up there, it's a good spot.
And the rock can be seen from almost anywhere on the property - perfect.
Love you Dad
