    Mum and Dad reunited

    Today (10 Feb 2016) I moved my fathers urn (ashes) and put them in the same grave as my mother (Marie) in the Macclesfield Cemetery. For the last 20 years dad has been in our lounge watching TV. :> ) I have also arranged for a new headstone which will have more detail to replace my mums old one.
