30 YEARS AND COUNTING

 

30 years ago today the weather was not as sunny as today, but it was dry and bright and I spent the morning decorating the village hall for our wedding reception. We had decided not to go down the catered option at a hotel we wanted to do everything ourselves. Friends ,family and villagers all joined in and we had a great day

It was very relaxed and after the meal everyone chipped in with the cleaning up.Those who wanted to  came back  back to our newly built bungalow to wind down. We had no internal doors and only a very basic kitchen but that made it even more special.

I will only post a couple of photos

My two youngest Bridesmaids

Sisters Eleanor on the left who now lives in the Cayman Islands and her sister April who lives on Vancouver Island and they both have their own adorable children.

This photo does not do them justice  Amanda has used an original photo of a Blue Jay  that she took in Colorado. each one slightly different  with photo editing and just perfect.

Last but by no means least Cards from Dawna in Ontario.

Each card is different and has a meaningful quote
