Blowing

I have and always will be a people watcher. It is fascinating to try and work out what people are about. I think I learned this in the Army? On all Funerals someone is late. Yesterday took the top prize though. The service started at 2pm but a couple of people turned up half an hour late. In fact the congregation had just started to come out of Church. However the service was followed by a trip to the local churchyard for burial. An announcement was made for all vehicles to follow the cortege into the churchyard. The vicar will not let us lower until all were gathered around the grave. He seemed to take ages, but then in the distance we saw a couple toddling from the top gate, a distance of about a quarter of a mile from where we were standing. You guessed it. It was the same people!!! Today was almost a Groundhog day. Different church. two people late. Announcement made to follow at churchyard. All gathered together apart from.......yep the late couple wobbling down the churchyard. Only this time, they stopped and started viewing the flowers!!!! Bubbles, they must live in Bubbles.
