The picture is of some of the members of our Best of Banffshire and Buchan Bed and Breakfasts having had lunch at Kildrummy Castle, one of our familiarisation trips last year. Sadly, Janice, the lady in red, died suddenly. Yesterday we went to her funeral. There are only two crematoriums in this part of Scotland. A long drive with the sea on our right all the way there. So beautiful. The crematorium was in what had been a small, pretty church. I was struck with the cleverness of transforming, what would have been turned in to goodness knows what, into something still useful to the community at large, Christian or not.
Reminiscences from the back of the car came thick and fast. Talk of other funerals at this church. How one had so many cars parked in and around, brought the comment, "Aye he was way too well known." Not a bad epitaph!
