To top it all the breeze arrived and father flew over everything. He would have find it so funny especially us trying to be very discreet in our endeavours. So if anyone sees a small ash pile on top of an alpine garden up a mountain in Swizterland that's my Dad - stay and have a chat with him and tell him all is well and Mother wants her ashes scattered in Brazil
Isn't it typical though - people have a tendency to turn up at the most inopportune moments, even the breeze conspired against you
Thanks for your input SueG

Is that between Benalmadena and Fuengerola or am I barking up the wrong tree?

A bloke I knew wanted to be scattered from a Chinook helicopter. So up they all went, his missus threw his ashes through the side door and he blew straight back in again.

Ah, the Osborne bull? I love their brandy.
A random thought. The other figures, the ones for Tio Pepe. Tio is Uncle, Pepe is short for Jose? = Joseph, so Tio Pepe is akin to Uncle Joe? That always makes me think it's Stalin's sherry as he was always called Uncle Joe.

Anything would be welcome
