This week seems to have flown by, lots going on. I worked an extra day this week so only had a couple of days free, one of which was spent driving back from Somerset and sorting out everything when we arrived home and one spent at a family celebration.
I also rejoined Slimming World this week so have been busy producing a menu plan and shopping for the week, I hope by planning what I am going to eat in advance it will help keep me on track - wish me luck!
On Thursday it was my Aunt and Uncle's diamond (60th) wedding anniversary. We were invited to join them for a celebratory lunch, it was great to meet up with family and friends again and help them celebrate this momentous occasion. It was also my Uncle's 86th birthday - my Aunt wanted to get married on his birthday so that he didn't ever forget their anniversary!
Out of the 45 guests there were 11 of us that were at their wedding 60 years ago. I was only 5 months old at the time so obviously don't remember the day but it was lovely to feel that I had been part of it.

This week I am only working for two days so hopefully I will be able to get back to some crafting and some walking as I didn't get time for either last week.
Hello,I'v just found your blog.What a lovely post and pics.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Lee, I am quite new to blogging only having started at the beginning of the year but am really enjoying writing and taking photographs for my posts.
DeleteSounds like you've had a very busy week indeed! What lovely family photos - everyone looks so happy, and 60 years of marriage is something to be celebrated. So lovely to see your aunt and uncle's original wedding photos too. I wish you lots of luck with your slimming plans - it's something I need to get back to as well, and you sound very organised. Hope you have a calmer week of creativity :)

Hi Cathy, I am hoping to be more organised this time around with SW as I have more time now - that's the theory anyway, we will see how it goes! xx
DeleteThis looks like a perfect family celebration. What lovely photos of you all. I noticed the anniversary cake was just a little smaller than that fantastic wedding cake :) Good luck with Slimming World :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family celebration! I loved seeing the photos from long ago and the Queen' s card too. How special!
ReplyDelete60 years married - Wow! I love their wedding photos and that cake is very impressive. x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing feat--60 years of wedded bliss :) That is so special that you were also there as a wee baby when they married, Jan! Best of luck with Slimming World (I assume that is like Weight Watchers here in the U.S.?)...
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing couple it must have been really special especially as you were there although a baby when they married. I am trying to get rid of the extra weight I have gained by being on steroids for 2/3months as well as the puffy face I now have! Good luck I am sure you will do it your determination will get you through. Chris xx
