Absolutely brilliant firework display at Tiverton Rugby Club tonight. A fabulous community event, and so good to see it so well supported.

What a fabulous first! Funeral flowers aren't just a way of dressing of coffin, or decorating a Church or crematorium (or any service venue), they can be a really personal way of expressing love. But to be able to still do that and at the same time show love for the environment, what's not to love?

For the first time ever the - Royal Horticultural Society will be showcasing a display of funeral floristry courtesy of the Farewell Flowers directory. Designed to show that it is possible to create sustainable funeral flowers that tread lightly on the planet the display will feature a host of tribute ideas and a cascade of British flowers.

Putting on your Sunday best?

It's not very often that we are asked to provide a funeral service on a Sunday (mainly because that's a very busy day for most Vicars!), in fact, this recent Sunday funeral was only the third or fourth in the last 36 years!

However, when we're asked to, we do.

The answer is yes, now what's the question? It's just how we do things.
