It's a nice day for a white wedding!

I didn't sleep the night before the wedding, awake at 2.30am and having tried every method I could to get back to sleep I admitted defeat and decided to watch 'Embarrassing Bodies' (previously recorded), so by the time 5am arrived and with my Sky Planner nearly empty I thought I should try again...

With a few hours sleep I stumbled out of the house with Grace, telling her on the way how today would pan out, referring to the Lego wedding I'd conducted earlier in the week, Grace was now the yellow brick for real, me?......Just bricking it.

Time soon passed and upon entering 'The Tempest' - I found myself getting hotter and hotter, maybe the open log fire? but undoubtedly suffering the effect known as 'pressure', and as I wiped my forehead for the umpteenth time I realised I'd wiped my 'face' off... arrrgggghhh - there was no time to reapply 'face' - arrrrgggghhh - it was happening! The ceremony was lovely, both my children being the only ones to have tantrums (grrr! - Thank goodness for Rescue Remedy!) then Grace getting upset because the best man removed the rings from the cushion! repeating aloud during the vows how she wants the rings back - The ceremony continued... (3 year old attached to my leg, head under the back of my top).

Gorgeous food, and lots of snapping later, my camera took itself off to bed, the night ending with myself forcing the DJ to play nearly all my favourite songs; The Proclaimers (500 miles), Dire Straits (Walk of Life), Bonjovi (Livin' on a Prayer), Bryan Adams (Summer of '69) and The Conga... I LED THE CONGA!!!! Well, the first half of it...




Number of times Mum fell whilst Conga-ing = 1

Attempts made by a tipsy Bride & Groom to sing 'The blue ridge mountains of Virginia' = 11

Bribes offered to Grace to behave = 1 (She was a good Bridesmaid)

Snow, Sun, Spring??

Well, it's March. The dark nights aren't as dark and neither are the mornings... Which I like a lot. I never really miss the hotness of summer till Winter's nearly out, then I long to be burnt by my seatbelt whilst driving, plus there's so much to do on an evening when it's still light, and beer gardens, and BBQ's, long walks and gardening... It's pretty clear, I'm rather looking forward to it.

We've got Uncle Matthew's Wedding at the end of the month and Grace is a bridesmaid, she may well be a little angel on the day... but the likelihood is pretty medium at the moment, that said, I won't be too bothered as I'll be taking pictures! Hurrah!

I'm on a mission to find myself a new mission, I always need something to be doing, usually some kind of DIY project, I can't keep decorating rooms of the house, when they've only been done a year! - I thought about making a patchwork quilt, which I'd still very much like to do but Mum's told me I need templates and what not, and that I can't just cut and sew squares together like I want to!

Hmmm... I'll get back to you!

Soooo... photographs! - I've started getting busier again, warmer weather is always a bonus and especially nice if the sun makes an appearance, though I had to cancel one the other weekend as we had snow! Yorkshire weather needs to make up it's mind!

Tantrums (of the embarrassing, world please swallow me up type) - 3

Number of doors in the house I've glossed - 2 (You're welcome)

Days left till Euro Disney - 75
