What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • How to be remembered

    I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich.

    I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers.

    I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards.

    I hope that money is not wasted on my obsequies which could be better spent on doing good.

    I hope that an Easter mass is celebrated not state-sanctioned pomp and pride.

    Julie – surely all cats are Scottish Episcopalian? Dignified, mysterious, of looong heritage, and with wonderful music ( oh, wait a minute……)
