As we get older we sadly seem to attend more funerals than we do weddings. Well what a refreshing change this weekend. I was asked 18 months ago if i would give my niece away and i told her and her husband to be that it would be an absolute honour. Time unfortunately waits for no one and it seemed to come round so quickly. All my family were invited to the occasion which could of posed a few problems to be fair!! The event on Saturday from start to finish (which was very late) can only be described as 'a perfect day'!!
It started with a hearty breakfast at the lovely B&B and finished with a late drink or three in my sisters local pub. The time spent inbetween was the most wonderful and too be treasured i have experienced in a long time. The day was blessed with glorious sunshine and was enjoyed by everyone present. My whole family are amazing and i thank you all for making Andy and Kirstys day so special in everyway!!
The good old football season is now underway with all the usual bar banter and debates. I dont like to stir up any issues between rival fans too much in case it backfires on me, so i will give it a few weeks before i predict Man City will win the league and at least 1 cup ;-) !!
The exercise programme for my knee has move up another level but if i am honest im not really seeing any vast improvements as yet...
As i write this a forcast of thunderstorms and potential flooding looms (not great weather for a roofer). I remember when i was young the first sign of any lightening and my mum would rush into the room turning all plugs off(telly first) and usher us all into the back roomwhere we would sit quietly in the dark whilst the storm passed over. These days no one seems to care and we carry on as normal. Have we all got braver as we have got older or do we realise it was just mother saving a few quid on the electric??....
