So you’ve come to a dead end ?

Ha ha

But brilliant as usual- I’d say Rodney is probably missing you guys

Thanks, Dad 👍 I hope he still remembers us! Also, thanks for trashing my Substack with your dad joke.

Haha. I try not to encourage him generally, but I'll let him have the odd one occasionally.

Michael, I enjoyed the series on cemeteries. I can totally sympathize and empathize with the journey.

Thanks, Lucas. I appreciate that. You can only write what's in front you sometimes, and I've spent a lot of time in cemeteries lately!

That ran deep. I was not expecting that, but absolutely loved the message... especially in these trying times. And, wow, I did not know that about gravesites and their limits. 😱 Cremation seems the way to go, lol! Although, I personally hope for a viking ship burial.

Thanks, Gabrielle!

And great call on the viking ship burial. If there's a cooler send-off than that, then I'd like see it 😎

Cod oil for the win? I don't think it'll weird me out talking about cemeteries. I even take my kids to the one not far from us for walks, especially when they were just babies and need a nap in the pram/stroller, where else can be more peaceful? As usual, really fun read and I look forward to your explorations this year!

Thanks very much, Rachel!

You're right, they are peaceful places. I've definitely come around to it. I'm sure it would have helped with nap time too 😴

Hey, I think I know that tree, and that dog, and even the guy on the advert on that bench. Maybe we walk in the very same cemetery👻 Thanks for the laughs Michael. Great stuff!👍

That was very entertaining, but having just been to Norway, I really wanted an entire newsletter about cod!

Thanks for the laugh. The title had me in stitches. There are a lot of beautiful trees in cemeteries. :)
