Yesterday (Tues 14/09/2021) me and my lovely wife Sarah travelled to Derby and back (in same day), to pay our respects at Eileenโs (my step mum) funeral at the Derby crematorium. Although it was a sad occasion for everyoneโฆIt was also a wonderful time as iโd not seen some of my family for 14 yearsโฆEven more in some cases!๐ฒย
The service was a lovely tribute to Eileen and my Dad was amazing as it must have been so hard for him during this difficult time! Afterwards Eileenโs sisters Pam and Ann had prepared a buffet meal at Annโs home which was fantasticโฆThanks Elise for a lovely coffee! โ Sarah & i even got to meet some more of the family here tooโฆLike chatting about cars (obviously) with uncle Colin who iโve not seen since 2006 in Hunstanton, Norfolk.ย
As itโs almost impossible for me and Sarah to know who is aroundโฆI donโt know all who were there?! So i was probably with more family than i knew about, lol.ย ๐คฃ Itโs gatherings like this where me and Sarah seem the most ignorant, as we simply donโt see who is there, and unless they introduce themselves we have no idea?!ย ๐จย

โง From left: Me, Sarah, Dad, Jahan (nephew), Saira (Niece), Charlotte (sister), Kam (friend), Ambber (sister), Zain (nephew), Saffy (niece), Amy (niece), Taylor (niece), Chloe (niece) & Zelaiya (niece) โงย
I couldnโt believe how tall all of my niece and nephews were!! For example Taylor was 1 year old when we last saw her at our weddingโฆSheโs now 15! ๐ฒ ย Jahan & Zain (nephews) are now over 6ft tall!ย Most of them drive (including Amy who very kindly picked us up) and all of my nieces are lovely young ladiesโฆIt was fun tying to guess whoโs who by the sound of their voices as i canโt see them at all!ย ๐คฃ I could do a post for each one of themโฆIโm so proud! ๐ฒ ย ย
It was such a blessing to meet them all again andย spend some time with them. They made the day run so smoothly even during this difficult time.ย โค๏ธ
Ben (not in photo) kindly gave us a lift in his new Audi RS4 4.2 V8 to the train station to get back homeโฆIโm writing a new post just on this experience as you know i love cars!! ๐ช๐ผ
