Today was my mothers wedding day

Having been on her own since 1943, just before I was born, my mother and I were in Woolworths in Leicester when she met with someone she had known for a number of years. The outcome was a second wedding........at St Mary's, Knighton just before it closed for building work.

It was a day rather like today, sunny and warm, just family and a few friends, they went to Torquay on honeymoon.She and my step father were married for just over 10 years when he sadly passed away.

DB is out watering his  veg, we have several water butts and a large dustbin with water in although they are getting a bit low now, we could do with some steady rain to refill them. I will be making tea shortly and we will sit on our new bench to drink it.

The peony, very light pink, smells fabulous.

I have a load of coloureds in the washer, they will dry fairly quickly on the line, we have a bit of a breeze, so they will get a blow.

I spent some time yesterday doing the sashing on the runner, I have to put the top and bottom bits on, then will have to wait for the heat proof wadding to come, before I can go any further.

I have just taken sausage out of the freezer, will prep the veg for our supper tonight, sausage and mash with veg unless DB opts for beans, which he might well do.
