First official engagement -

March 24th 2008 (Easter Monday) will go down in history as the first time we saw Emily and Aidan dressed up! The wedding of their cousin Helen to Alan Cunningham at Newcastle Cathedral was the reason. Bridesmaid and Usher! It even snowed confetti for the happy couple, but it must have been cold on those arms of Ems.

What snow - at Easter - in Thorne?

If you want snow, there is one place it is not usually found - Thorne. So it was a real surprise to get this on Easter Sunday morning - just the start you need for travelling to early morning Easter Communions. Very pretty though, but I hope it doesn't stop around for our trip to Newastle upon Tyne this afternoon!

50 and almost out!!!

Maybe this should have been a celebration but ... it was a case of surviving the virus, but at least the family tried to enjoy it! And thanks to Emily for cooking my special meal, which I couldn't taste and didn't really eat.
