Thought you might be interested to see Aslan:

He's the lion from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. He's being carved from the stump of an old cedar tree in our local park to mark the area's association with C S Lewis.

What a great way to utilise something that would otherwise just be cut down and dumped

Funeral to look forward to on Wednesday. The old boy was 99 so I think you can call that "a good innings"

I think you've started a trend. I've now gone from one to two funerals to go to in the space of two weeks. And oh dear, the trousers no longer fit. M&S to the rescue.

Managed to get my trousers done up - just. Any watering of the eyes was purely due to the constriction !!

I had thought of leaving mine part unbuttoned with the zip half way down on the day/s to relieve the pressure, but who needs 'that' kind of attention.
