It seems that our son Callum has inherited some of the 'forward planning' genes of this grandfather and father.

We had lunch with Callum before we left on our trip 'down south'. Here is a snippet from the conversation that occurred.

Callum:  Mum, I've been thinking about what coffin we should get for you.
Sue:       Really? What are you thinking would be good?
Callum:  I'm thinking about something in the shape of a cow!
Geoff:     Why a cow?
Callum:   Mum grew up on a dairy farm and likes cows....

While the conversation naturally moved on to other topics soon after, apparently Callum's thinking did not. A couple of days ago he sent a text message with the pictorial results of some internet research. Apparently you CAN be buried in a cow-shaped coffin (or a pineapple, or a beer bottle)  -  but maybe not in Australia!

You've got to give it to him, he's an ideas man!!
