celebrating a life

It was quite a task organising and orchestrating a celebration of a challenging and interesting life journey.

I knew that I'd need help and had been to a couple of Humanist led celebrations, which felt right. 

Lynn was a Quaker, and the Friends wanted to have a memorial meeting at another time as she held office at UK and nationally in Wales.

I searched the Humanist UK website for a celebrant and found Tim

https://humanist.org.uk/timothyleyshon/ 


Here's the review I wrote about him.

I knew when I first contacted Tim that I wanted a very specific, unconventional memorial for my parent. He/she had had a remarkable unconventional life and I wanted to tell the story in a sensitive but honest way. It was a bonus that he spoke welsh, although the event was mostly in english.

I'm not sure that a celebrant would usually expect so particular and ask and so controlling a client! It could all have gone horribly wrong.
From the beginning, Tim was a joy to work with, he was a rock, provided advice and reassurance, made constructive suggestions, and on the day  presided over the event, offering a calm supportive presence. He was organised and charming. Family, friends and Lynn's colleagues were all very happy and complimentary about the celebration of a remarkable life. Thanks Tim

Travels in the Van 2023: Week 7

  Saturday 25th February  La Granja de Carmella Saturday night communal supper was sublime – home cooking at its best. Sweet-and-sour pork soup with lemons to squeeze, pork loin braised in beer, roasted carrots & green peppers and Patatas Bravas, with figs caramelised figs and yoghurt for dessert, as well as heaps of chorizo, cheese and other Tapas. All washed down with the house Vino Tinto. The company was entertaining too.   Two older Dutch couples, and two younger, both with little children, one Belgian and the other Dutch. Hortensia was such an affable hostess, she had her teenage kids helping in the open plan kitchen and Jacques her husband wandering in and out. Such a lovely way to spend an evening. We swapped campsite recommendations and life stories and manage the Brexit question, which I knew would be inevitable, very well, with a much more nuanced discussion than would be possible at home. The whole experience at this place felt like basking in warmth and fr...

Travels in the Van 2023: Week 8

  Sunday 5 th March   Playamonte to Valencia We replan the last week in the quiet of this near deserted new campsite and then head out on a ride. We decided to slow things down. We need to be in Barcelona for the lunchtime flight on Saturday, so we plan for another two base camps, one outside Valencia and the other outside Barcelona. Both have a good cycling routes.   It’s a long drive to Valencia and we’re entertained listening to ‘something rhymes with purple’, a podcast with Gyles Brandreth and Susie Dent, which looks at word origins and vocabulary - lots of laughter! ‘Valencia Camper’ is the antithesis to the quiet of the last site and is possibly my favourite so far. It’s busy, it has a little café and Bar. We have the pitch right next to it, which is a good thing, it’s like an extension. It also right next to the reception office and we hear first-hand the friendly and excellent customer service the hard-working Carlos provides to the never-ending stream of arrival...

Saturday 18th - 23rd February: Granada  This little campsite in La Zubia outside Granada, is 61 years old. It’s tiny and an oasis of peace and calm. Particularly the little terrace by the swimming pool, which is out of use over the winter season, but the perfect place to do my daily routine of a short workout and yoga practice, and a place to come to think and write. This is the first campsite where we’ve been in a section with little vans like ours which is fun. It's like a little street in the neighbourhood. We’re greeted by friendly youngsters who look like they’re doing up a van and some other friends of theirs, who make it feel a little like a festival campsite, in a nice way. They’re playing music through a speaker and have a little table with crochet items and jewellery for sale. What seemed a good idea during the day drove me mad at 11pm when the bass beat thudded through the campsite. After a quiet word at the office the following night was quieter.   We spend 5 night...
