Mortuary Worker & Death Blogger
Hello there everyone! Well, as is the current theme for this blog (and I'm aware when I say current that covers quite a considerable amount of time) it's been a while hasn't it? I think I've had every intention of writing this year, I've made promises to myself that 2024 would be a time for... Continue Reading →
Last week we lost our beloved greyhound Annie in an accident over the park where we walk her and her brother every day. Annie loved nothing more than running through the forest and would burst through the trees to us with the biggest grin on her face. She would just run and run, she seemed... Continue Reading →
Well it's been a while, hasn't it? I have been meaning to return to this blog since around June, but my life took a very strange number of twists and turns that have meant nearly finding myself in November with a huge array of things I would like to update you all on and write... Continue Reading →
Depending on who you are, and what your interests are then you may already know of Edwin Chadwick. However I would, if I were a betting person, bet a decent amount of money that the average person in 2023 has no idea who he was and what he did to benefit modern society. I must... Continue Reading →

I have hosted a huge number of Death Cafe events, seen them into and through the pandemic, and assisted with the switch from in person meets to online. I have met so many people through the incredible and powerful way in which death cafe allows people to discuss topics which may have felt uncomfortable or... Continue Reading →
I've always thought it quite funny how when someone shivers, especially if particularly violently, they will declare that someone must have walked over their grave. I remember imagining as a kid that there was this green space somewhere just waiting to be used as a burial plot, maybe even with a blank headstone just itching... Continue Reading →
December (possibly?) 2022 In a break away from my normal content, although in typing that I'm not sure what that would be perceived to be, I want to delve into something which has been haunting my thoughts. Yes, I've been feverish with the latest influenza strain to hit the London streets and I admit this... Continue Reading →
My website host has today greeted me with a prompt that for once I think I will keep and use. It asked of me this morning, what big life events have happened to you in 2022? As someone who has recently been rather lacking in and desperately searching for some kind of creative spark or... Continue Reading →
