Hello lovely kitcheners! Soop’s place is always a delight as it’s cosy and comforting.
I don’t post as often as I’d like because when we are over at our little place in Malaga, we don’t have broadband there, just access the local WiFi on a monthly tab. It’s doable but can be intermittent!
Anyway we are back home now in South Manchester for 5 weeks so I hope to pop in here more frequently.
Here is a wedding photo. I’m just 20y + one week. It was in 1974. This one was with my lovely dad. Sadly he died 3y after this photo was taken, at the age of 47y. He was such a lovely man.
As I added my photo to another thread I thought I would put it here also. As you see I was married in red - quite a rebel! Well it was Christmas.
All these lovely wedding photos! I got married in a cream two piece, with a bouquet of freesias and no hat. I baulked at a formal wedding - I would probably have gone AWOL if I had had to walk down an aisle! I think DH was rather disappointed because he wanted to wear his blues, the same as N&G’s DH, but he would have put me seriously in the shade at a register office, which would never have done! Like Callgirl, we got the “Congratulations - 7s 6p please” too! He has said many times that I was “cheap at the price”?!
Panache I’m glad things seem to be moving forward apace! It’s hard to leave a house you have known and loved for so long. I felt the wrench when we moved too, but now I know it is the best move we ever made and it will be the same for you and your dear husband.
We had a day at the seaside today; very good fish and chips, nice if rather cool weather and a walk on a lovely beach. We found some fossils for GS’s collection, and a couple of pieces of sea glass for mine! But it’s not the same when there is no small boy in tow who likes crazy golf and rock pooling and beach cricket. We shall return in the school holidays! Photo attached. TOYA.
I'm enjoying the photos. Good to her from you panache, you two are tenacious, only another week by the sound of it. Seeing your home empty is a difficult thing but try to think of an easier future for you both with some time to relax without worry. When we downsized all our furniture was too big except for white goods, a desk, one wardrobe and the beds so we began again, our furniture was mostly donated to the BHF. It was seriously odd to begin with, coming home felt like it didn't belong to us, a strange building and new furniture. Once we acquired a mark and dent or two then it was ours! 
. Chin up, your new home will soon feel like home and life will be less difficult. I'm so pleased it happening for you.
Beautiful pics as always Soop. Where`s your wedding photo?
I love looking at wedding pics, you all look lovely, unlike me, registry office and a 2 piece rather than a gorgeous wedding dress. I`ll post a pic if I can find it, the 2v piece was lemon with white accessories. After he`d married us, the registrar leaned over the desk to shake hands, and said "Congratulations, that will be 7s 6d please." Very romantic, NOT!
Panache, wonderful to hear that your moving preparations are going so well, now looking forward to hearing that you are settled in nicely.
Panache Us lot are in awe of your tenacity. Your lovely husband is a treasure beyond measure. Your new home sounds delightful. It will be a cause for celebration when you finally move in and begin the next phase of your shared lives.
Anneliese You look like a film star and your dress is stunning. Your dear husband is quite rightly looking awestruck. Thank you to all of you for sharing your treasured photos.
We visited the care home to discover that our pal was not fully dressed and shaved. We therefore did the Tesco shop and returned later. His wheel chair was squashed between a sofa and a wall, with no place for either of us to sit. I was terrified of standing on the toes of a nearby gentleman as I gingerly stepped over his feet. 
A few moments ago, I stubbed my toe on the wooden step in our home. Did I yelp? Yay! I also said a very rude, unlady-like word. 
Andy and Feliciano are to play another doubles match later. I am hoping that they have the energy to play as well as they did yesterday.
The sun is shining brightly. MacSporran is cutting the grass. I have my own ironing to do and a cat to wait on. Broadie has already called for a bowl full of delicious food. We anticipate that he'll return again during the evening. He managed at least three mealtimes yesterday. I guess that you could say we are a soft touch...or something like. 
Last night's sky was dramatic. I shall add two pics.
Although I haven't yet caught up fully with all the recent postings, I am slowly but surely trying my best to do so. In the meantime, until tomorrow's visit...
TOYA 
Oh dear! No photograph! Will try again.
My mum was the most brilliant seamstress and made my dress, veil and headdress. Not quite sure what DH was doing with his hand - he was so very nervous! I’ve still got receipts and my bouquet cost £4.20. We had white freesias in a silver vase on top of our cake, and they cost 20p! Happy days!
