Cynthia and Toots those stories made me smile :-)

On the day of my wedding my Dad was charged with taking our suitcases to the place where we were having our reception.

He didn't know how to get there so (having nothing else to do 3 hours before the ceremony) I jumped in the car to show him the way.

Approaching a set of lights a double decker bus decided it wanted to be in our lane!! it was on my side so if dad hadn't managed to avoid it (and I don't know how he did) I wouldn't have made the wedding.

My dad looked for that driver for weeks afterwards we didn't think to report it at the time.

On the upside everyone said I looked really calm on the day ;-)

Just popped in before I sit down and watch some tv.

The christening went well . F smiled all the way through it and O was good also.

F was the only baby being christened so we had the church to ourselves.

It stayed dull but dry :-)

We all had a nice day.

O is still under the weather after being sick last night she slept for two and a half hours today and hasn't ate much.

My son is back form his gig in Kiev which went well. I will catch up on the last couple of days news tomorrow.

<3

Good one Toots..... :-D :-D :-D


I sometimes watch the You've been framed programme and some of the things on there re weddings, are funny to watch now but must have been horrendous at the time....you know, falling/fainting/blowing away etc........horrendous but momentous! :-D

It's things like that which make a wedding day memorable.

On my wedding day the Priest could pronounce Carlo's name and kept asking me what's his name so I now maintain when I said my vows the priest said do you TootyFruity take What's his name to be your lawful wedded husband. LOL

Victoria Day seems to have come round quickly Sylvs, where does time go?


Had to laugh earlier. Our vicar was telling us about the 2 weddings he had yesterday. He felt really sorry for one of the brides apparently. It seems as though she had a 'bolero' type little jacket on which fastened, by press studs, to the dress. Unfortunately, the material of the dress was so heavy that the studs kept popping open and she had to keep adjusting herself.

At the other wedding, the bride caught her heel in the hoop of her dress after kneeling, and couldn't get up again. The bridegroom had to go on almost all fours to crawl under the dress to release the heel. It seems as though a good time was had by all, despite these complications...... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Tomorrow is Victoria Day .........

............ celebrated on the Monday before May 24


May 24 was Queen Victoria's birthday :-)


Across Canada, May 24 is the traditional day to begin planting your garden, for farmers to sow seed, etc etc

.... that is unless you are my husband, who starts planting as soon as possible, and usually no later than the beginning of April :-D.

It does help that we live in the "Banana Belt"


The May 24 weekend is also traditionally regarded as the beginning of summer ................... people go camping, to their summer cottage / cabin, sort all those items needed during the summer, etc etc



and it more often than not .................... rains :-(

Linds ................. I hope all went well today xxxx

I used to live by the sea for many years. I find it a great comfort..............staring out on the waves, it's much bigger than anything going on in our lives

We are land locked here, so no chance of a walk by the sea :-(

Thank you girls, for your thoughts <3

Afternoon everyone!

Gins, hope you find your sis comfortable ((hugs)) <3

Dea, going out in lashing rain is great fun! Waterproofs on, down on the sea front with the sea all black and choppy, waves crashing over onto the prom, then back home for pot of tea and toasted teacakes - bliss!

Jonesey, hope you're OK. Yes, things a trifle soggy up here. Thankfully we live at the top of a bank so not flooded.

Toots - did you really put the bacon in the cinnamon roll and eat it?

Linda, have a good day.

Sylvia - we're expecting company so I've pinched platefuls of lunch and am going to pass it off as my own. Sorry everyone else.

I'm not budging an inch until the 1p.m. Lunch service.

WOW,Syls.!!!!!

Oh-well-don't look for the Red-Onion Marmalade,gang, as it's been miraculously transported to my kitchen.

Birds,tweeting conclaves,mosquitoes,Mrs.J.-all pale in comparison to what the squirrels are up to out there. :-0 :-0

Love to Ginny. <3 <3 <3 <3

((((Hugs Gins and sis))))

Just popped in to say hello

2nd cake behaved itself.

Just to whip cream and ice which I am going to do now

Oldest GD was up most of the night being sick :-(

Parents got about 5 hours sleep at one point I was going to go and stay overnight :-(

I'm off to get ready.
