Olympic Torch passes through Lincoln
The Olympic Torch was making its way through Lincoln this afternoon, passing the end of Queen Street as it did so. A good crowd of people were gathered to watch this once in a lifetime event. Unfortunately I was on a callout for the police as it all happened so I have had to content myself with looking at the photos Julie took.
The first picture shows our premises seen through the back of a sponsor vehicle, the second photo is the Torch itself.
Photo Shoot
We have taken advantage of the excellent weather over the last day or two to get some top quality photos of ourselves and the vehicles taken. The location we chose was Lincoln Cathedral, on the south side by the Judgement door. This is the entrance normally used for funerals in the cathedral and, being on the south facing side, is ideal for photos. The pictures were taken by Clive Catton of Octagon Technology (who also do all our IT and web support http://www.octagontech.com ), a very capable photographer.

Burton Church
We are at a funeral at Burton Church just outside Lincoln.
Banking
I suppose I always knew this day would come but it was still a bit of a shock when our bank, who have been very supportive of us since we opened the business, have decided to start charging us for our charity account. This is a separate account used only for handling charity donations for clients. As most people give donations in the form of cheque payable to the charity concerned, the majority of money that passes through this account is cash from the collection plate at the crematorium. Cash is paid in, about a month later a cheque is issued, for the amount paid in, to the nominated charity. Only the charities nominated by bereaved families receive any money from this account, we don’t charge for the time we spend administering donations but now we are going to have to pay for the privilege of handling charity money. It’s a sign of the times I guess.
Queen Street Lincoln
Our premises on Queen Street are easy to find, we are located just off the High Street, in Lincoln, almost opposite Dixon Street, there is plenty of room to park on our driveway.
