Scatter this....

Tomorrow I am off to visit the place we scattered my grandma (don't worry this is not a sad story) as it is her first birthday we have been without her... This made me think back to the day the scattering was done.. Please don't think this is being disrespectful in anyway. It's just my take on the day.

This story may seem strange to you because I guess scattering someone is meant to be... I dunno really what it's meant to be.. But this is what it was like for me...

We went to scatter.. At a river.. which I'm not sure is legal to start with so we were trying to be surreptitious.. Which is difficult considering you are carrying an urn... In a M&S bag... Which was just strange from the off... SO we start looking for a place to do the deed. There was about 6 or 7 of us. all following this mystical plastic bag like it had the answer to WHY in it.

After ruling out random spots because of fishermen.. dumped mattress's or too many nettles we decided on a place to do the deed. So.. you stand there wondering if there is something you should say as you break off the lid to the urn... But at this point you're just thinking.. jeez I hope no one is looking.. and what if we get caught.. what are they gonna say.. Errr can you stop scattering your grandmother??

So anyway... lid came off and a few people grabbed a bit... which inevitably got caught by the wind.. SO there you are holding your breath in fear you ingest some... After the Grandma cloud went away the official scattering began. Quite controlled at first. You know.. Each person getting a handfull..( here have a handfull of grandma).. you get a bit fed up of this approach eventually because believe it or not.. there is a lot to go around... Loads in fact. So you start to pour it it out in to the river. But then you start getting clumps. And instead of it going away nicely.. A big clump gets caught in the water in a current that is circling around and around... So you get a stick and try swishing the water... So what is meant to be a nice memorable occasion has turned in to an undercover.. quick hide her.. kind of thing.

Do you know how insane this all sounds... And it all happened..!!

I wonder if other peoples scatterings went as well... That's all..
