Freesias!

Good Evening Everyone, it seems such an age since I last put up a post.  I hope you are all well and for those who are not so good, well here's a HUG.

Thanks to everyone who has visited my wee blog and especially to you all who left such great comments on my last card, story and photo.  I really do appreciate it, because everyone is busy and it does take time to get round all your followers.  I don't know how I will manage it when I return to work, at the moment I have a bit of time. Anyway thank you.

We had a lovely time at the wedding on Saturday, the bride, Amy was so lovely and Malcolm, her groom was very handsome.  However the rain came down in torrents, and the ceremony was held in the gardens, but in time honoured fashion, the sun shone on the bride at just the right moment.  There was a window of dryness whilst the ceremony took place.  Being quite a laid back couple they took the awful weather in their stride.  Photos were mainly of umbrellas.It was very much a do it yourself affair, held in one of the halls in the glen, "the Youngsters" who ever they were decorated it with the most wonderfully coloured tissue balls hanging from the ceiling, flowers from their own and neighbourhood gardens, food made by a local friend who is a chef, and it was out of this world, and a great band to dance to.

Our day didn't start out well as the hotel wouldn't let us in to our rooms until 3 and the wedding was at 2, we weren't dressed and worse I had a naked face.  We explained we were going to a wedding, but no, we couldn't get in,  and there wasn't a room to change in.  Well you cant get into a kilt outfit in a Nissan Micra.  So we had a quick panic and then thought of our friends who stay in the next glen and maybe we could go there, luckily Alistair had there phone number in his phone.  Now Peter and Jean have the Lost Gallery and they were busy picture hanging for their new exhibition on the Sunday, but said to come along, if we didn't mind the upheaval. A further 20 minutes to their place, time was ticking on, got in and changed, Jean made a cuppa, and I was able to have the sandwich Alistair made at home and brought with us so that I could take my insulin, as it would be a long time till the meal.  Alistair had his sandwich too, and then Jean said , what's that on your shirt?, when I looked there was a great big red blob of something, tomato sauce, I thought,  well folks you know that I have had very high stressed recently, they just reached top level at this.  I couldn't believe it, this was the shirt which was found, washed and ironed at the last minute. Anyway it was jam, Peter managed to sponge the stain almost out.  I wanted to kill him, Alistair not Peter. Well all this is going on I'm trying to put the slap on.  It was one hell of a rush, but we made it on time.

We didn't stay at the hotel that night, we were told that our room had been cancelled, it was fortunate that other friends invited us to stay with them.  This hotel makes Fawlty Towers look like the Ritz.  The owner was beyond rude and to think it is on a tourist route, it certainly give the area bad press.

Here is a photo of us all glammed up,

I'm wearing the gorgeous butterfly pashmina that my friend Dale gave me for my birthday, I tell you I was glad I had it, not at all warm.
