A distant place...

This is to fit into the mono Monday distant challenge, the one street challenge and the weekly challenge of Looking out.  gone a bit challenge mad!

This was the view looking out of our front room window this morning.  It's actual a cone to warn people not to park there as there was due to be a funeral leaving from the house over the road from us this afternoon.  This is our street as it was on the morning of 12 January 2015.

Stan died on 11 December so it has been a very long time waiting for his funeral - it seems far distant now. The funeral was conducted by a humanist so had no hymns nor prayers.  It focussed on memories of Stan being the important aspect.  I found it a little unsatisfactory as it seemed to offer no consolation nor hope - everything seemed very distant - as if Stan is just totally no more...
