Sometime on Saturday 23rd May 2009, between 9 and 9:10 pm, I was in the garden playing with my brother when suddenly he shouted to me “Holly come quick, is that a rocket?” I leapt up and came over to him, I did not have a clue what it was. I shouted to my aunty to come over, but by this time it had moved on across the blue sky so we all ran into the field behind my garden. It was still moving at the same speed but suddenly it stopped and after about 2 seconds it started to fade as we were watching it.

I recently visited my father’s resting place to find all his objects removed, I went into the office and was told I am no longer allowed to place anything other than flowers, without reason. I was then able to collect these possessions from the cheap refuse sacks they had been thrown into outside, this pile was huge and not even placed them they had clearly been thrown! It is disrespectful and without reason I want to know the reason why and am betting if we want to place things on graves now there will be some kind of payment we have to pay.

I would like to say a big thankyou to all the staff at Asdas Opticians In Grimsby.

I had an appointment for an eye test/new glasses and from the moment I arrived until leaving I was looked after like I was the most important person in town.
Nothing was too much trouble, the service was professional, quick and efficient and the staff, from the Optician to the wonderful ladies and gents at the front of house were superb.

I can wholly recommend their service to everyone and I would like to say a big thankyou to them all.
