Family funeral this afternoon. Mr . K’s great aunt, a formidable little lady who at the age of 95 very peacefully and with great dignity passed quietly. She had planned her funeral in great detail and included in her plans a champagne toast to see her off.
I don’t use the word formidable lightly. Ulla was a tiny bundle of energy who was always stylish, always well groomed. And for many years, including the height of the Cold War, worked in the Swedish Security Services. As a spy. Many are the stories we tried to get her to tell and all of them she took with her to her grave. Going out in style to the tune of “La Mer”…
In honour of her colour I add a bright purple jacket and colourful stripes to my grey and black funeral attire.
