I have posted some pictures of our morning at the Warren. This is a place along the Wye river that has been very special for Cathy's family and has become special to us. Tom has spent time there. Paddling his toes and lazing around. It felt like the right place to let his ashes go. It is a place that we enjoy visiting and that we will want to return to again and again. As you see we were to true gypsies and roasted our sausages and bacon over the driftwood fire. Obviously Ed rubbed 2 sticks together to make the flames... It was handy that an RAF flypast went over just as we let Tom's ashes go. Very appropriate! Lynn had carefully kept a star balloon from on top of Tom's spaceship - the river caught the ribbon, pulled it down and it floated away - on the surface! What is quite exciting is the possibility that the Warren Club will make the gate accessible for wheelchair users. The idea currently is to add a new gate with a RADAR key, in Tom's ...

AN EMAIL FOR TOM Although you have gone from us now, we will always remember you and love you. Tom last year when I was very ill and in hospital your mum and dad sent me a get well soon card with a big picture of you and Libby on the front. The nurse's hung it up in front of me at the foot of my bed telling me to hurry up and get better so I could come up to Liverpool to see you. Soon every morning I would look up to the card and this helped me to hurry up and get better. I still to this day think that this was one of the main reasons that I got wwell as fast as I did. THANK YOU TOM Grandad Roy and Nanny Val (If you would like to add any words that we did not have time to share at the celebration - email us and we can add them onto this entry - gavcross@hotmail.com)

Of course, the only way that the day could have been any better is if Tom had been there to enjoy it. We know that he really would have enjoyed it. Thank you if you were able to come. It overwhelmed us that so many people wanted to share the time with us. The day was about remembering Tom and saying thank you to people but is was also a time to be together in a lovely place. So many people helped us to get to that point : Elaine & Jim, John & Sally, Kathy and all the crew at LIPA, Ben W, Ben & Laura, Lucy & Nick, Karina, Laura & the team at the Palm House, you were fantastic, all the grandparents, Matt & Helen - ALL OF YOU! It was particularly lovely to have Tom's mates from school there. They made it for us. Thank you to everybody that got them there. As we said, we will be saying good bye to Tom everyday. But we hope we are ok enough to be as open and inviting as we can. Please come ...
