Stay Calm Thisisme. Come on now - breathe!

This is your friend, thisisme, trying to hold it all together!! Hee Hee!

As I type this, I am listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons - music for the soul!  I am lucky in that I love all genres of music, apart from heavy metal! Although, of course, being the age that I am, I'm a real sucker for all the 60's music, as it takes me back to the heady days of my youth.

We had a surprise early on  Saturday evening, as the bride to be turned up, with our future son-in-law and the two little ones.  It was a lovely balmy evening, so I suggested opening a bottle of champagne, (as you do!) and we sat in the garden having a pre-wedding celebration.  The two little ones were running around, generally having a lovely happy time, and at that moment I felt very blessed .  The only thing missing of course, was our family from France, but they will be here very soon now, if only for a few days.

The main reason for them popping down was to give us a card thanking us for all our help and support during the many preparations for their wedding.   They said that the garden looks beautiful and all our hard work is much appreciated.  They went on to say that they are really excited and looking forward to us all celebrating together.

They gave us a present each, and this beautiful bunch of flowers which came from the Florist who will be doing the flowers on the wedding day.  The colours are so soft and summery.

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife.

A hundred hearts would be too few
To carry all my love for you.

As you can see, I love this opportunity to be in a romantic mood again!!
