thank you, I feel quite touched now x weeping willows come from Asia by the way. I guess you did meet me as the real me because I really was blown away from 2 x 3` twigs too what you see there in 10-12 years. I have talked about these trees on here before as they were put there with my last partner for nature and somewhere to put my ashes but I don't think they need them.

@LeighShelton They might need them but if I were a tree I would definitely feel honored to have them based on your passion for the life of the tree alone!

@CreativelyMe its a bit silly really but I will actually become a very small part of that tree and my dad's ashes were put in the river that runs past it. it's starting to sound a bit religious lol but I'm only going to basically be manure lol.

@LeighShelton That's the cool think about not ascribing to religion. You get to decide for yourself if there are any rituals you like. In my opinion what makes it religious is that it is not an option, it is an expectation. You sir are a free thinker and made a choice, creating a tradition maybe? I love it!

@CreativelyMe your a really nice lady x

@LeighShelton Aww thank you. I cannot think of anything I would rather be.

@CreativelyMe me either x

oh, I've been on that swing and camped there and all sorts probably thousands of times. it used to be heaving with families and dogs etc when I was a lad.

if I had a choice that is exactly what I would want but there's too much red tape and I really don't want any attention brought to them in any way. I was chatting with my son yesterday saying I just want him to pour my ashes there and never go back if he doesn't want to and not to tell anyone.

why?

@LeighShelton, maybe because it's winter here atm, & i prefer the warmer season, in particular a good middle-european summer.

@walklightly oh I see, im the same and will feel the same when its winte4r here for what its worth.
