The Funeral of Georgina Catherine Wray 5th April 2012

Went to Derbyshire and arrived on a very snowy Wednesday 4th in preparation for 

   A beautiful poem was written by Emma Ayling, her Aunty as follows.

You are a promise unfulfilled

Our darling, precious, baby girl

Hearts full of what you might have been

A world full of things you should have seen

You are a puzzle left unsolved

A jigsaw piece to make us whole

Those deep brown eyes, that turned-up nose

Hid mysteries we longed to know

All gathered in your watered room

You lived, you heard, you felt, you moved

Not separate but married in

Intimately, safe within

Knitted into kith and kin

Knotted on and grafted in

Floating in your mother's hug

All you ever knew was love

You'll never know the cold of night

Eyes open now to heaven's light

Nor know our hurt or grief's despair

Singing songs of joy now there

But how we want to have you here

How we'd love to hold you near

Babe with beauty on your brow

Carrying you with us now

Though we see the smallest part

We know God keeps you in His heart

Alive in Him, safe up above

All you'll ever know is love

Georgie was buried in a wonderfully beautiful graveyard behind the church with many graves of other children around her.

  After we gathered at The Boat Inn, Cromford for refreshments.

Visit to Ruth 3rd April 2012 (Day 5)

Well it is going home day!
Up as normal and then breakfast, pack the car said our goodbye's and set off about 0930 for home, very uneventful trip and home about 1245.
Overall it was good for me to reacquaint myself with Ruth and enjoyed almost every minute of our time there. Thank you Ruth and so glad to know you xxx

Visit to Ruth 2nd April 2012 (Day4)

We had a quiet day in today except we went to Asda at Melksham to get the ingredients for a curry that Sue is going to cook for Alan as he has gone to work. So guess what? Ruth and Glyn did a lot more talking and not much else until the evening when after we had enjoyed Sue's curry we played Rummykub, do you know I had forgotten what a good game that was. Alan and Sue went to bed early and Glyn and Ruth stayed up to do some more talking before we go home tomorrow!!!
Forgot the time until Alan came and reminded us at 2330!!!!! so it was off to bed..........

Visit to Ruth 1st April 2012 (Day3)

Up as normal and off to church at St Thomas's in Trowbridge and meet up with Mike and Jane Bullock. It was a lovely service but was more than a little disappointed by the welcome (or lack of it) that we received.
After church it was back to Ruth's to have a lovely roast chicken dinner and to meet Jennie and Mark, well Jennie again, mind you the last time I saw her she was about 11 years old, really the only thing I remembered about her was the very cheeky grin which she still has, the only thing she remembered about me was my voice!!!
We had a lovely afternoon and we played a game called Wildlife after tea until quite late, of course we talked while playing.....Jennie and Mark left around 2300 and then it was off to bed!!!

Visit to Ruth 31st March 2012 (Day2)

Slept well after a latish night and had a lazy breakfast then eventually got dressed as Ruth had to take Daisy the guinnea pig to the vets so we went into town to have a wander around the Shires and a Costa then back for a spot of lunch, a lazy talking afternoon then out for dinner at The Bell on the Common at Broughton Gifford. A lovely meal it was as well then dropped Sue back home and Stephanie to a friends in Trowbridge then into the Cricket Club for a further drink. Never stayed too long though as they had a function which I enjoyed but the young ones found little too crowded and noisy haha, the staying power of the young!!!
When we got back, Alan went to bed and guess what the rest of did, TALKED!! until bedtime........

Visit to Ruth 30th March 2012 (Day 1)

To start off with we left here (home) about 0830 to go to Trowbridge to meet Ruth at the Crowing Cock for lunch at 1200, in fact we arrived about 1115 as we had a faultless trip up so met her early as she did not have a fare!
Well the centre of town had hardly changed at all over the years since we were there last and nor had Ruth. From there we had a walk about and then went to the cafe for lunch and I enjoyed proper faggots and peas for the first time in ages and Sue had fish and chips! Alan (Ruth's hubby) turned up as well.
After lunch we wandered about a bit and then visited the old market and some old friends still had stall there, it was nice to see Margaret and Gordon and Sue got lost on Margarets stall who now does crafting bits and pieces. Sue spent so long there that I had to go and move the car as we were about to overstay the 3 hour limit!!!
About 1600 we made our way to Holt to get to see where Ruth lived and where we were staying. It is a lovely house and a really nice garden, with pool...
Around 1700 Stephanie came home, a very pretty and sassy young lady who is 14 and causes all the problems a normal 14 year old causes...
Ruth finished work at 1800 and Alan went to pick her up and she had finished work for 2 weeks...
Well all we did on Friday evening was talk and talk and talk and then talk some more!!!! well we did have a lot to catch up on and it was lovely seeing Ruth again!!!
