    We really are going to enjoy this wedding ...  it's going to be such a special day ... my niece was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma while at uni ... despite her chemo making her feel very poorly she took as little time away from uni as possible and got a good degree. ... she lost all her beautiful long blonde hair of course, and wore a wig to be her sister's beautiful chief bridesmaid.
    Now her health is good - she has regular checks and has to be careful re her immune system, but all seems well. Her fiancé is a diamond, a lovely man who adores her ... they are both much loved and deserve to be very very happy

    Sounds like plenty to celebrate Dove.

    Dove, I misread your gerbera wedding hat adornment as an artificial teal gerbil. Now that would be a bit different.

    That really would ensure that I qualify for the Eccentric Aunt Award!!! lol

    Morning all! Afternoon Pat 😁 
    Fairy... Cake please!!!! That looks yummy! I'm interested to hear about the shed thing your considering! I'm also looking at getting another car, no time of yet but at the browsing stage.
    Hosta, glad to hear that your new pets seem to have, gone! 😁
    Haven't read back, I'm at the purple dressing gown stage with first coffee and need to bath, paint nails, hair, make up, oh and posh frock and hat thing.... Some people do this lark every day, think it's going to take the whole morning! Haven't made such an effort since my own wedding!! Posh do though so must not let the are down!!
    Hope everyone has a lovely day, I'll catch up with all your goings on when I return 😁

    Wonks - I can barely do it even if I had to go to a wedding, let alone any other day of the week.... :D
    It's this one - made by Rowlinson

    A gerbil of any kind would be rather good! Tricky to attach though  ;)
    I didn't see G'sW completely last night chicky, but didn't they show that woman with the irises before, or am I losing the plot completely?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Hi all.
    Heads up @Hostafan1, Beechgrove had a short article on Hostas, which you may, or may not find interesting.

    Fairy that's a lovely one! Dove has one that size, very useful to protect and rear the youngsters! 😁
    I stuck feathers in my hat but if the cats had caught a teal gerbil, I would have opted for that any day DyersEnd 😁
