Well, I’ve just had a phone call from my Dad.

Apparently the cause of my Nan’s death was pneumonia according to the autopsy.

The funeral’s scheduled for Friday week.

I’ve also been informed that the estate is worth around £100K!

Well, that’s a very useful sum. It will pay off my morgage and car loan for a start. The rest will get invested. I’ll also invest the money I’d use to pay for the loan and morgage into the same pool every month. That should help it grow as well.

I *MAY* use some of the money for camera equipment (a good tripod/head, bag and maybe some good telephoto glass) but I’m not sure about that yet. I may just still save up from my normal funds. The £30K left over after paying the bills isn’t a huge amount so needs to be kept as pristine as possible.
