I’m on a mission to help spread the word about the creative potential of funerals, farewells and celebrations of life, and to get us thinking and talking more about our own wishes for our deaths.
This is the first in a series of death and funeral planning parties. Yes - you heard me right, parties. This doesn't have to be something we are afraid of, something we shy away from talking about.
The talking bit is 
extra 
important, because latest figures suggest that as many as 80% of people in the UK haven't talked to friends or family about their end of life wishes. And, if there's one thing that we can be sure of, it's that our lives
will - 
at some point 
- 
end.
If we tell the important people in our lives what we want, then we are giving them a real gift. We aren't leaving them guessing or worrying they've done the wrong thing. There is so much joy, creativity and colour that can be brought into these ceremonies, but often we don’t know how - or we're too afraid to think about it.
Over two hours, you’ll be able to be together in a gentle, relaxed and friendly environment, hosted by me, where you’ll be invited to develop your own language around death and dying, and encouraged to think about your own end of life wishes. You’ll also be able to record those wishes using the brilliant Get Mortal packs devised by the brilliant Dead Good Legacise, to share with your nearest and dearest.
Come along, and let me show you that it really can be a positive experience talking about death.
11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the Enid Porter Room. Light refreshments provided, and every person who comes along will go away with a personalised record of their end of life wishes.

Cambridge Punting

Natural scenery

Boat tour

Ming9734

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Trinity College

Travel into Trinity College, Cambridge, with not only beautiful atriums and fountains, but also ancient libraries. The college, built by King Henry VIII of England, has been through the storm and has become one of the largest, most financially powerful and most reputable colleges in Cambridge University. Its deep academic heritage and remarkable historical status are unique and worth a visit.

Mathematical Bridge

Visit the &quot;Mathematical Bridge&quot; attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.

The Corpus Clock

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.
