I can imagine how devastated you are not to be able to be there Margaret, how lovely that your GD is making sure you can be part of her special day.  Enjoy the occasion, drink the wine and I’m sure there will be more tears shed - the same things you would do if you were there. Best wishes to you all.

Her new book won’t be too far away now Chookie.

Can’t wait. Ha you know how I enjoy a new cook book. E

Mab, your GD will miss you as much as you will miss being there. However your relationship with her ongoing is even more important. Enjoy the link up and drink the lovely wine.
Just general house work, washing and tidying up freezers. Solar installations being done soon.

We had home made sausage rolls with homemade puff pastry.

Thank you ladies for your kind thoughts.

Supermarket shopping today.  Then a visit to the wine shop. I bought a couple of bottles of very nice wine to drink tomorrow to celebrate our eldest GD wedding in Queensland tomorrow.  All the family are there except for DH and me.  GD is going to do a video link so that we can see her and the family at the wedding in the afternoon.   Many tears have been shed because we can't be there
