Thank you Turlough - I'm not so sure where it will go either. This beginning of a story came from one of those mind spinning mornings, mindless musing while I dressed, but it got lost during the work day and I'm not sure exactly what it is I've ...

Such a fun read. I love the.characters. I started late in the story and will have to find the start and read through but I've enjoyed all of your tales, especially the undertakers. I agree with Jenny- very well deserved POD.
