I'm back. We have had a bit of a crisis, this morning. The back door won't lock and we are awaiting a locksmith. There was to be family get together this afternoon, but we now can't go! ?
Yesterday was fabulous, but we did have a few disasters.
•The taxi, which was booked, only arrived after three frantic phone calls. My neighbours were ready to step in and run us there, before going back to get themselves ready.
•As I took off my mask , getting out of the taxi, my earring flew off and shot through the railings of the university, across from the church. As I turned to alert DH, he was half across the road and oblivious to my plight! Sharp eyed SIL, spotted it, a fair bit away from where I was standing in tears, while DH, strolled merrily on his way! ?
•During the evening, my DIL, (not the bride) became very unwell, with food poisoning. ( from sushi, she had a lunchtime). What a disaster. We couldn’t get hold of a taxi and a guest, kindly took her home, despite the guest having a long drive back to Oban ahead of her. I was so worried. Poor wee Dollie was understandibly upset about her mummy and having to miss the wedding.
•DS1 was trying to look after his wife, when Dollie had a massive nose bleed all over her bed! It never rains, but it pours.
Apart from that, it was a great success. DH’s speech was full of props, as a nod to my son’s childhood fixation with practical jokes and all things scary. These include a green moving hand and a skull, which had pride of place on the top table. The children present, had a great time, playing with them all night, with the adults also looking for a shot!
So here, as promised are some photos. DS has given me permission to post a photo with wee Dollie in it, I wouldn’t have considered it, without asking him!
Group of four, my friend; Dollie and us: my cousins.
kitty hope that your husband feels better soon.
And enjoy the village panto!
(Do you live in Ambridge? 
)
Newquay sending my very best wishes to you and your husband.
I hope that he is soon on the mend and back home with you 
I’m so glad you had a wonderful day Mary. Does your DS look like DH? (A sentence bound to annoy the anti acronymers!)
I’m (still!) really looking forward to seeing your ensemble.
It’s lovely that you gave your hat away.
(When I went to my BF’s wedding I wore a rather spectacular feathered hat and a duster coat. Apparently I looked like Emmeline Pankhurst!)
My DH is a bit better it seems.
The GP came out, and it was touch and go whether he was going to call an ambulance. But he said that he appeared better than he expected (as did I - the confusion comes and goes).
Thank you all so much for your kind messages. I do feel like I am constantly moaning to you!
Have a lovely, peaceful weekend everyone.
Sending love to those with worries x
Good morning Mick and everybody. Bright and cold in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 2°C. I’m sure the sun will soon warm things up.
Glad the dentist and the gardener were both a success GrandMattie, I too have been worrying about the war in Ukraine and its effects on those involved
Beautiful photos Marydoll, sounds like it went well. Hope you can rest today.
Hello Newquay and welcome. Hope your DH is recovering in hospital.
Pleased for you it’s stopped raining Elspeth and things are starting to return to normal.
I hope your husband is OK Kitty, falls are not pleasant.

We had a lovely day meandering along the coast yesterday, I was so tired last night. I’m still in bed, I must stir myself now I’ve finished my tea and read all your posts. I think today will be spent pottering in the garden.
Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief. ?
Awwwww Marydoll you sound to have had a FANNNNNNNTASTIC day yesterday at the wedding and you gave your HAT away! What a very lovely thing to do.
£300 on an outfit !!!!! OHHH MY LIFE !
So pleased you had a lovely day. 
Good morning everyone, good morning Mick. Your day sounds great, really great, enjoy....
Today here in Yorkshire we have blue sky !!!! Wonderful. Cold but so what! Instant feel-good factor.
Well, i woke at 4.20am with Ukraine on my mind, i reached for my phone to read on the news app, what was happening. I was laid there snug and warm in my bed and just couldn't get those poor people out of my mind, the Russian people too, they are suffering too.
Today myself and Mr S are going for a drive then have lunch in a county pub, it was his birthday this week and we didn't get chance to go out.
I go about my daily business but a big part of my mind is very much on the people of Ukraine, I am soooo very very grateful for my freedom.
Reading my message, its not very cheerful, I'm sorry its not...
ENJOY YOUR DAY EVERYONE... X
Good morning all from a very sunny Glasgow.
Newquay, I was so sorry to read about your DH, I hope he starts to feel better, now that he is being treated in hospital.
Firstly, may I send my sincerest thanks to all who sent good wishes yesterday, I just never got a chance to respond, we were too long in the hairdressers! No surprises there!
I was totally wiped out, had to leave the wedding a bit earlier than most, but I had a ball!
We had a fabulous day yesterday, apart from a few disasters , but it wouldn't be a Marydoll family event, without some,
My hat caused such a stir, with many of the bride's family from the Stockport, coming and asking if I was the MOG or going to Ascot! I thought I was on the set of Coronation Street, they had difficulty understand me and I them!!
My close cousin's, friend who was at the wedding with her (my cousin's DH, died of Covid in the summer) had the same hat as me, but hers was black. However they looked so different.
The friend said she had paid £300 ? for hers in a famous, bridal shop in Glasgow.
She had decided to buy the same one as mine to wear at a wedding in May and I asked where I bought it. Mine was a fraction of the cost from Debenhams! ?
I ended up, giving her my hat and told her to keep, since I will never wear it again, it is so distinctive! My cousin was horrified that I was giving it away!
I'm off to try and cherry pick some photos for you all, they are all over the place. I will leave you with a couple of teasers.
Have a good day everyone. The sun is shining here! I will be back at some point.
