Blessing's, Birthdays and Babies

Hello there! I hope you are all well!

My blogging break is over, and I will be visiting you all pronto, I have missed you all.

Two of my daughters now have the same size feet as me! so I can borrow and try not to destroy even more shoes. Hurrah!

My current obsession is the Dior 'New Look' Silhouette

I did a lot of this whilst away

'Large, white, medium dry........ don't be shy'

the Renewal of Vows or Blessing made me quite nervous

I love Gretna Green

here's a little information if you wish to read about The Famous Blacksmiths

that's our hotel

about 90 seconds away

Now I normally disapprove of public hair roller displays, but we needed feeding as the Blessing was at 3.30pm

The waiting room

The room hasn't changed,

neither had Mr F

This is Ian, he delivered the Blessing,

He Rocks!

We had no idea what would happen, but the Blessing took half an hour, it was beautiful and romantic

we were read several Celtic Love Poems

a verse of one 

Be circled in love

Keep darkness out, keep light within

Keep fear out, keep peace within

Keep hatred out, keep love within

and another 

Deep Peace of the Running Waves to you.

Deep Peace of the Flowing Air to you.

Deep Peace of the Quiet Earth to you.

Deep Peace of the Shining Stars to You.

Deep Peace of the Son of Peace to You.

of course I whinged and sniffed through most of it

Mr F loved the kilt (so did I, phwoar!!)

The veil was eventually attached to the original tiara I wore

Something Old (Shoes, Bag, Tiara, Petticoat, brooch)

Something New (Dress £35 in the Sale)

Something Borrowed (Littlest's earrings)

Something Blue (nail varnish and ring)

Sassy B had 2 birthday celebrations

Saturday was 'pre-drinks'

........which isn't a party.....even though it it sounds like one

but lots of her friends came round had lots of drinks and music played,

they left around midnight to go out

Monday was her official birthday

Our new additions, two beautiful girls

Jaffa Cake ( 8 weeks old, known as Jaffa, friendly, likes cuddles, is teeny tiny and cries when her sister decides to be very naughty and hides behind the washing machine, attempts to escape through the narrow gap at the top of the fire, decides to go on adventures and plays hide and seek....a lot)

Crumble ( 8 weeks old, even teenier, eats a lot and takes on the bigger cats who currently have the biggest huff, ever.....she is fearless though and is a total, total menace)

We took them for a check up at the Vets on Monday

Crumble has a heart murmur, we are hoping it's minor

(and also got her insured, just in case - the vet was talking heart specialists and x-rays)

we got them on Saturday, it really is like having toddlers again

I am sleeping downstairs to keep an eye on them (Mr F did the first 3 days, collectively we must have had about 16 hours sleep in 4 days)

I am trying to establish a bedtime routine with them

I'm knackered

Mr F is in Edinburgh until Friday due to his new job

 2 children are back in school

and I have no idea when these little menaces can be left alone,

So I will see you all soon..........hopefully

I seem to have lost my camera charger, bugger

ooooh

and

Melanie has produced another VOGOFF triumph!! brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!
