I had planned to show you photos but still haven't worked out how to get them onto here from my phone so that they fit and aren't too big. I need a child to show me!!!!
We had a wonderful day on Saturday - totally exhausting but so, so lovely. It was like a little taster of the wedding. The girls ( and ladies) arrived at 2pm all full of chatter and laughter. Our crafts all went very well and everyone joined in. We decorated knickers, painted a glass and drew on stones. Chloe has gone home with a set of stones with words on to use in her garden in the future. We had a scrummy afternoon tea courtesy of M&S, which we ate in the afternoon sunshine. It was lovely to see Chloe's friends getting to know each other and will help at the wedding to gel people together a little bit. At 7 pm the taxi arrived to take the younger members into Reading for cocktails, a meal and dancing. I think they had a great time - they arrived back all in one piece which was good! Papageno was quite surprised to be joined at 2.30 am by many girls and a lot of treats!
Ed has also survived the weekend. He had a stag party in Southampton - interesting to see my future son-in-law dressed in a pink tutu, bright pink socks and a pink tanktini playing golf! Thankfully he will be slightly differently dressed for the wedding!
On Saturday we also got to see the bridesmaids dresses which Ed's mum is making. They look so,so beautiful and seeing them made the wedding day seem very real. Over the weekend there has been a lot of wedding chat which is lovely. Chloe sent me a text last night saying - I am so excited. With less than 2 months to go it feels quite soon!
My back coped ok with the business of Saturday ( I did have wonderful help from A who came to be an extra pair of hands and Joy who helped clear up afterwards ) but I was very tired yesterday. So no big plans for this week. Blood tests today, then flower buying and arranging for a memorial service for T's mum on Saturday, an appointment with the occupational therapist and bible study with my ladies. I am sure there will be more list making from our discussions over the weekend!
Hopefully I will post photos later!
