Dad

We left Kingston on a grey drizzly Monday after mum and I scattered the last of Dad's ashes from the side hatch of the boat whilst Pete drove at tick-over speed. Mum had wanted to scatter ashes in the Thames and Pete suggested from the boat which was ideal as we were able to do it by the restaurant where we have had several family meals in the past and opposite the Ait where mum and dad celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and even better than either of these, the part of the river pretty much where they had boarded a boat for a celebratory river trip with friends and family the day after their wedding in 1949. 'Dad' is now in Upminster (where they met), in our garden which he loved, in Italy where they had such happy times and now the Thames. I also loved it when Pete observed that the flow would take him down to the East End - his family routes!!
So long, Dad x
