I'm not even sure what to call this one but I'll try .. I just wish I could provide a timeline but life doesn't always allow us to have a pen and paper so wish me luck please because this is Back To The Future level stuff and I'm not Doc Brown ..
My Mum passed away, she was cremated, we buried her a couple of days ago ..
I'll skip to the end .. Marty Wilde's about to play Cromer Pier in three days time.
One of the places my parents used to go to as teenagers was a Midlands nightclub created/owned/whatever by Marty Wilde .. Rock 'n' Roll UK pioneer since '57 .. I wasn't even born or even thought about yet ..
I still wasn't even aware of someone called Marty Wilde .. I knew about a famous woman called Kim Wilde, she was that one on TV in the 80's who sang that 'We're the kids in America' song .. then a mate's Mum turned out to be friends with hers. I was impressed but I never met her. Marty's daughter apparently.
Fast forward to the early 90's and Mum and Dad ended up accidentally sharing a small rental boat with Marty Wilde in Grenada .. they didn't know each other but I remember my Mum telling me " .. and me and your Dad used to go to his nightclub!" .. *yawn*
Fast forward to recently and (no tears please) my Mum carked it. Shit happens, I decided I was going to put a hag stone in her grave which is what I did .. a connection to me in Cromer.
The next morning, my Dad made a lame joke (but he meant well) about "You look like you've lost a stone?" then he gave me a stone he'd taken from my Mum's grave site.
I put it in that tiny pocket anyone who owns a pair of jeans knows to keep it safe and I wondering what to do with it from here? .. I'll also cark it one day .. it's inevitably just going to end up in a rubbish bin one day?, nobody else will think it's anything important ?..
So I'm firing it into the ocean off the end of Cromer Pier.
The same Pier I've genuinely only just discovered Marty Wilde and the Wild Cats have decided to perform at in three days time. Weird as fuck Fortean life synchronicity. I suppose I
could ask Marty Wilde to do it but I'm not going to because she was
my Mum, not his and the circle is accidently complete with the Cromer hag stone now buried in her grave also all happening at the same time by a combination of thought and coincidence.
