They said "They were the Boys In The Dresses!"
Most of the cars were stopping....

Back home.
Coffee and nibble.
My hubby arrived with his dad.
They were going to my dad's funeral.
I wasn't, due to a hot head Prodigal son who wouldn't hesitate to lamp me!
I was going to wave my dad goodbye as he left his house, followed by me delivering my flowers to his grave.
I kiss my hubby 💋
Off to say goodbye.
While I waited, the green bins were being emptied,as the same time as the hearse arrived at my dad's house.
