Emotional moment

Louise left Ruth's wedding bouquet and her own bridesmaid's bouquet on her granny and grandad's grave today.
Ruth asked her to put her flowers there at the end of the evening. It was an emotional moment. The image that remains in my heart is the one that we didn't photograph, when we stood in each other's arms and shared our grief. A grief that wasn't expressed when they died all those years ago. It was a precious moment and one that means so much to me. Even as I write tears are in my eyes again and a lump in my throat.
Thank you Ruth for giving us this moment in time. I do really believe it is the beginning of some healing that should have happened 20 years ago.

Wedding Day

I had a wonderful day at Ruth ad Matt's wedding. Weather made to order, lovely ceremony and a beautiful bride.
A good time was had by all.

Things are changing ......

First the bare kitchen ......................... pipes and plaster .....................new kitchen units

The old bathroom .............................. new wall tiles ....................... now floor tiles as well.

The airing cupboard in the bedroom ..... going ..........................gone!

So there IS progress. It feels slower than I had thought it would be, but once the work started there seemed to be more and more to do.
I have been blessed with brilliant people to do the work ..... Les the plumber, George the builder and Paul and John the electricians.
One day I will have a house warming day or evening ..... one day fairly soon .......

New hair

Rob cut my hair yesterday.

I like it.
