September

By the time we reached September, the wedding was looming very near. The milliner suffered a hand injury so I had to start searching again for a hat! Again, the cost went out of the window as I persuaded a shop in Wokingham that they could have me one made in 3 weeks, not the usual minimum of 4 weeks! We went to another wedding...Nicola from school....and by now I was starting to know all there was to know about hosting weddings. However as I'd had very little to do with the organising, I was relying on Katy and Mark to have thought of everything (which they did).

We just had time to fit in another holiday, visiting Hilary and Bob's place in Crete with Sheila and Paul. Then began the mad panic to get rid of all my wrinkles, lose the extra pounds and grow my nails. Sadly I failed on all of that but the excitement about the next month left me grinning most of the time and jumping up and down at inappropriate times.
