The Blessing

The Blessing was very special. It was done by a lady I used to work with in the village school, she was the school secretary, now Jane is our vicar, so it was a little bit special. Jane made an announcement about Claire's grandad passing and asked for a minute of silent prayers. The only noise to be heard was of a Cuckoo, which was lovely as dad told us all the Cuckoo rhyme every year. I never get tired of hearing it. God bless Don. 

Just a few pictures to show what a beautiful day we had with the blessing and the fantastic weather we had. Just a few miles away had heavy rain, but we were just so lucky. Some one was looking down on us. Claire was just as happy and excited this day as she was at the wedding. So many lovely memories to cherish. What a lucky person I am.

All the photo's were taken by Jake, the cool dude in sunglasses playing badminton, he's 10yrs old. He is Claire's best friend's boy, but we have adopted him as our grandson, he's gorgeous.

I Would just like to say a big thank you for all your lovely thoughts, I can't tell you how much they mean to us. You are such lovely ladies. I hope you will come back.

Love

Tina XX

I can't sleep too much still lots to do for the blessing today, but just had to take 5 as I just love making cards. ( took a bit longer than 5 though ).

You mean the world

 I started making this one a few days ago, but, the Bank Holiday and entertainment took over. My newly married daughter and new husband came over for a meal, and we looked at all the wedding photo;s on the computer, Such a different way of looking at photo's to when I got married, so card making got put to the side for a few days, eventually this is what I came up with. I Hope you like this one.
