Saying goodbye to treaclechops
29 messages
Select a forum:
Just a few days before my best friend treaclechops (http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/user/1765) died, she asked her wife Kate to scatter her ashes at as many ancient monuments as possible. On Saturday 23 June this process will begin in Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.

A few of us will be leaving a little bit of treaclechops (extremely discreetly, of course, among tree roots, grasses and under hedges, and certainly NOT disturbing any archaeology!) at Avebury, West Kennett, the Uffington White horse, and finally at Wayland's Smithy.

If anyone here on TMA who knew her, would care to join us under the beech trees at Wayland's Smithy from about 2.30/3pm for a picnic in her memory and to celebrate her life and to say goodbye to her at one of her very places, you'd be most welcome. She always liked a damned good party. Bring flasks of tea, cake, Ginster's cornish pasties, real ale, a hipflask of single malt, or whatever else you fancy. We will be reading her fieldnotes of the ancient monuments she so loved and remembering together the impact she had on our lives.

As treaclechops herself would say: 'Marvellous!'
