Years ago, an old family friend of my ex-wife's died and they had a bowls day in his memory. They day started by scattering his ashes on the main green. My kids were very little then...they thought that looked like fun and tore off after the family as they did their solemn farewell... Well, the place was in stitches. Old Tommy would have killed himself laughing, his friends said. Which I thought an odd thing to say, considering... I can't remember who told my boys what it was that they spread over that green...
