My Will

Today I am grateful for life. A lot of people that I know of have died this spring including my Granny, David Guest, Paul Daniels, Victoria wood, David Bowie and Prince. This has inspired me to  write my will.

This is my will...

When I die I want the funeral director to be dressed as a Gorilla and have all attendants to be dressed in movie themed outfits like bat man or superman. Each one differently dressed.

I want these two songs to be played..

1) who wants to live forever by Queen
And
2) I'm glad there is you by Randy Crawford.

I want all my possessions to be sold and placed together with any money I have and placed into a trust. One quarter of the trust will go to my family, One quarter will go to a cancer research charity. One quarter will pay for the funeral and go towards a party for all the people that attended my funeral and one quarter to space science and research.

I don't want preservative to be pumped into my body but for my body to be frozen until my funeral day. 
I want my body to be placed into in a Hessian sack and buried in an unmarked grave in a public place like a country park and a tree to be planted just above my body. If it is winter then I want the tree to be planted in the following spring.

The tree is to be a fruit tree with it's natural roots or a redwood tree or an ash tree. If possible I would like my body to be  buried in Devon in a public place under an olive tree but don't mind where it is or what the tree is.

I want this message to be read out at my funeral.

"Life is a journey and a gift" when you die your journey continues somewhere else   so find strength and by happy.  I Alan Booth am thankful for the life I had.

My allotment

Today I am thankful for my allotment because it is a good hobby. You get organic fruit out of it.

I had my allotment for nearly 4 years I believe. If I had got my allotment now I would have managed it differently. I would have filled it with dwarf fig trees because they persist year after year and produce fruit with very little water. They get bigger every year.

I think every person should have at least one a dwarf fruit tree because they give you organic fruit for free and they reduce your carbon footprint and they don't grow very big because their roots have been modified.
