Dear Blog

Dear Blog,
My apologies for not being around for a while, quite a while in fact. A lot has been happening in my life, not all good but thankfully I can say in the main I’m ok.
The good stuff: my Niece Natasha married her man Shane just over a week ago. It was a lovely wedding, out in the open, overlooking a lake, plenty of Wildlife; a few drops of rain had a few of us scurrying for our umbrellas, fortunately not really needed. So many photographs: well over 2000 by the Professional photographer, Peter, a friend of my late Husband, his shots were truly lovely as I was able to sneak preview later in the evening on his laptop.
I am so looking forward to seeing the ones of Steven and I, he asked Steve to crouch down so that I looked so much taller than he did – it made us both laugh! It has been a very long time since I was taller than my Son – about 25 years in fact :)!
My eyes did leak during the evening when I read a little poem for the bride and groom I had written for them. I of course mentioned my Husband, as he was not by my side he was greatly missed on this special day. When I had finished reading there were other eyes leaking too – must have been the air-conditioning.
Of course another wedding in November when Steve marries his/our lovely Rachael, David will be sadly missed on this very special occasion too, perhaps in a deeper way as his Son will be married on the beach near his home. He and David spent so many happy hours on the water, fishing, talking about whatever it was men talk about. I know it will be an emotional day, but at this time of writing I have no idea how deeply we will all be affected by David’s absence.
My aim though is to try very hard to make the day as pleasant and uplifting as possible. Our Son is marrying the woman he loves and she loves him so there is plenty to be happy about.
I am off to Sydney in a couple of weeks just for a change of scenery; I’m being taken around the City by an old friend from school in UK – that was a very long time ago.
I’ll probably have something to say upon my return.
Bye for now Blog no promises but I will try not to stay away so long before the next post.
Vonnie:)
