The clocks have changed, the trick or treating is over and now we steadily move forward into Winter. I’ve noticed the work start to ramp up as we get busier which, yes, does mean more people are dying. I wrote a lot of posts about our busy time last year so I’ll try to make... Continue Reading →

Imagine my surprise at finding out it was this link titled ‘EU embalming fluid ban... Continue Reading →
Copenhagen was the perfect break for November. Laura B and I had planned it for a few months, we reacted to the intense heatwave of the summer by booking a trip to somewhere that would definitely be cold. I spent many a hot summers day dreaming of blankets, scarves and thick socks. I’m a Winter... Continue Reading →
