Farewell

We were staying with friends in southern Spain on the day of the funeral in Bristol of our dear friend, “Stubby”.

Our friends drove us to a quiet bay next to Bolnuevo and left us on the small cliff top while they took their dog for a walk.

It seemed an appropriate spot as he had expressed the wish to be cremated and his ashes scattered on the sea - so that he could travel the world.

As we stood, looking out to the sea, our thoughts and prayers and chat were of Stubby and, on a cloudy and chilly day, suddenly a pathway of sunshine stretched from the horizon to where we were.  It was a very moving moment.

Then we smiled at the thought that he would have liked the idea of our overlooking a naturist beach - few people were about and it was far too cold for anybody to strip off!  He would have had something to say about that and made us all laugh...but then, his signature tune was...
"Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"...and, bless him, he did.
