Royal Wedding Weekend

Photo issued by Clarence House of the bride and groom with attendants
After watching the amazing Royal Wedding on TV, I drove down to Westcliffe-on-Sea to collect my mum (Helen - on right of pic) who had been visiting my Dad's baby sister, Joan for the past week......they tell me that they had received an invite to the wedding but had turned it down as they felt it would be too long to sit in Westminster Abbey without going to the toilet!!  I recommended that they put on a Fascinator, pour a glass of fine sherry and watch it from the comfort of the sofa - just as good and a lot more comfortable on the bladder!

On Saturday morning, I drove my mum to Colchester to visit her cousin (my Uncle Terry) and his wife (Auntie Ann) whom she had not seen for a few years.  It was wonderful to see them together and hear them catching up with family news and stories.
