Today is a day to remember the sacrifices made over many many years by our armed services who gave their lives to make our world a safer place and also to perhaps reflect upon how dear and precious our loved ones are.

We would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a brighter and more positive 2021 when we can put all our troubles behind us and hopefully begin a new chapter of our lives.
A phrase we use for Milestone Celebrants is
" As the journey of life went rushing by, we found some time to laugh, love and cry".
We hope that 2021 brings a lot more love and happiness to your lives.

Delivered a celebration of life service this morning for a lifelong fan of Wrexham FC and Wales National Team.
The Funeral Cortage passed by The Racecourse Ground where fellow fans and the Wrexham Team players formed outside to pay their respects what a fabulous gesture by the club.
Last week I delivered another service for a lifelong member and former Club Captain and President of Holywell Gold Club again members of the club and Past Captains from across the region came out to pay their respects and formed a guard of honour applauding as the Funeral Cortage passed
It is an honour and a privilege to be able to deliver services that Celebrate the lives of such special people and in current times I am always humbled by the response when so many people provide such touching tributes
I have also witnessed hundreds of people inTowns and Villages come out onto the streets to applaud a loved and respected member of their community never let it be said that our communities are not what they used to be they most certainly are and should be given every inch of respect they so richly deserve, well done one and all.

Thought i would share the following Max Boyce poem with you all
‘When Just The Tide Went Out'
Last night as I lay sleeping, when dreams came fast to me
I dreamt I saw JERUSALEM beside a tideless sea
And one dream I’ll remember as the stars began to fall
Was Banksy painting Alun Wyn on my neighbour’s garage wall
And dreams like that sustain me ’til these darkest times have passed
And chase away the shadows no caring night should cast
But times like this can shine a light as hardship often can
To see the best in people and the good there is in man
And I remember Swansea with nobody about
The shops were closed like Sunday and just the tide went out
And I remember Mumbles with the harbour in its keep
And the fishing boats at anchor that trawl the waters deep
And I heard the seabirds calling as the gulls all wheeled about
But all the town was sleeping now and just the tide went out
And when these days are over and memories remain
When children painted Rainbows and the sun shone through the rain
And the doctors and the nurses who stretchered all the pain
And I hope the carers never see a time like this again
And I prayed last week for Boris, who knocked on Heavens door
And I thought of voting Tory, which I’ve never done before
And though the sun is shining I’ve no immediate plans
So I’ll write a book on ‘Staying In’ and ‘Ways To Wash Your Hands’
And now more days of lockdown, 3 weeks of staying in
I’m running out of vodka and I’ve started on the gin
And my neighbours are complaining, I’ve heard them scream and shout
With the sound the bins are making when I take the empties out
And when all this is over, and our fragile world survives
And I hope that God is caring now for the ones who gave their lives
And I pray we’ll find an answer, for my faith is cast in doubt
And God draws back the heavens and all the stars come out
And I’ll remember mornings with nobody about
When the shops were closed like Sunday, and just the tide went out.

Happy to report that i am back up and running delivering services as usual

Good morning everyone.
We are certainly living in extraordinary times and many people are finding this lockdown hard.
If you are struggling at home never be afraid to ask for help and once again if you know someone who is self isolating give them a ring just to say hello, one call can make a real difference.

At a time when many of us are at home and some perhaps worrying about what the future holds there have been some splendid social media posts and messages from many of my facebook friends and from many others who have taken the time to communicate in such a caring and compassionate way. Thinking of others as well as themselves is a welcoming and dare i say positive outcome of all that is happening around us and hopefully will continue long after we get to the end of this Worldwide Pandemic.
My reason for posting this message is that i recently received a message from a friend Phil Roberts which i am grateful for as it made me think about those people who feel isolated and alone and perhaps a little depressed, to be honest who would blame them with all the media coverage of the virus newspapers social media television and radio its completely taken over our lives and everything we do on a daily basis has changed dramatically.
But to some people feeling alone is an emotion that they grapple with constantly whether that be dealing with personal problems alone or going through stress and other mental health issues.
Let us all think of them today.
If there is anyone you know who may be struggling through this "Talk to them reassure them, and support them, no matter what age no matter what job they are doing especially our emergency services who are under tremendous pressure, and those who are at home alone living with their own thoughts, talk to them let them know they are not alone.
Not everyone uses social media, pick up a phone and talk to them.
Now like many others ill share one of my favourite photo's that makes me smile and feel great everytime i see it with my best mate Ron Nealey currently self isolating with COPD who i call and speak to most days.
Perhaps you can do the same with someone you know?
