Goodness I hope its gone by the morning as sadly we have another family funeral tomorrow at Eltham Crematorium SE London .

Our sister lost her hubby of 54 years on the 20th Dec and tomorrow we say our farewells

Its emotional all round especially as our brother Alan's widow will be with the family as we say our farewells to him at the same crematorium that we said farewell to our brother on the 1st Oct last .

we could do without adverse weather on top of it too

Uzzi - it is the principle to avoid graven images to preclude worldly idolatry. I understand where it comes from but this is just rather sad

Shirley I am sorry for your loss.

Elizabeth I would like to say that I understand where they are coming from, as I understand what you have said, but I don´t ´,snow is snow and it´s lets build things and if the idiots see it as idols then that´s what they are idiots ! Children will be children and build Mummy and Daddy in snow. And that is all it is, well apart from the really good ones :-D
