The most difficult part of his task is to deal with Mum's vast collection of Shirley Bassey memorabilia and even more difficult, though he won't admit it, to deal with his bereavement and say goodbye to his mother. Much to the embarrassment and annoyance of wife, Brenda he carries Mum's ashes around with him and is going through the process of taking Mum to all her favourite places. The final location he thinks of is Mum's ultimate dream - but will Shirley agree? |
