Afternoon All

A pic of Castle Hill one bright November morning.

Good afternoon from Almondbury

Its a wet afternoon here and despite the grey skies there are pretty blooms of lilac and white lilac trees everywhere. Its a nice replacement for the confetti style blossom thats blown away. The veg is coming along nicely in my new veg plot, and Keith ate his first raddish fresh from the garden yesterday.
The wesbite is coming along nicely, curently uploading some photo's. We have had 65 hits in just two days, so I am getting excited about the possibilities.
My daughter is up from Warwickshire today, and she currently watching 'Grease' for the thousandth time! I plan a healthy tea (we are all weight watching for the 8-week away wedding) and a nice evening in the foot spa, picked up some nice lemongrass salts from the bodyshop which the assistant assures me I can use in it....here goes!
Spent last night making 100 wedding favours- we have made handmade paper cones (pink, rosey) and filled them with a mixture of flying saucers, dolly mixtures, pink shrimps, lemon banana's and sugared almonds.
Each cone was filled, tied with pink and white ribbons and a little satin rose or two added for effect...very pretty, and edible, which in my book is the perfect marriage!!
Have to get on and make the cake next weekend, give it time to mature. Laura (daughter,19) thinks I should go into wedding planning, as I am doing the whole sha-bang myself, dress, cake, flowers, tablecloths, bunting and much more. Seriously though, I love doing it all and wouldnt want it any other way.
best go and finish tinkering with the site, and put the kettle on. Anyone coming?

Gosh what a clever clogs you are. I do so admire you. I'm hopeless at that kind of stuff.
Just thought I'd pop in and say that I might have said yes to the tea a little earlier but it is getting excitingly near to G & T time, thanks very much!

I love sweet shrimps and bananas. You sound so busy and isn't it exciting. We've had rain all day too.

Hey I've got my tea already so won't come. Instead I'm heading for your website! Your favours sound great Sue lovely idea. I was pleased with the ones I had for my wedding last year, but wouldnt want to be a wedding planner - no way!

THe favours do sound great. I couldn't do wedding planning either, I'd be far too panicky. Good luck with the website.

It all sounds just lovely. I wish I could pop in and see all the favours and the dress fabric.
I remember when Lillypad went through the Grease stage - we all knew all the words to every number!
