It's a pink one.

Aren't they all if born Anglo-Saxon? I sincerely hope that you don't mean that the poor little angel is condemned to wear only pink frilly clothes and not allowed to play with Lego and Meccano!!!

As it goes, she's a bit of an unknown quantity, since her Dad is half Indian, a quarter Irish and quarter Austrian...

And I'm sure it will be Lego and Meccano all the way!! Oh, and just to further confirm the lack of pinkness...

All together now AAAAAAAHHHHHH!

This is probably a very silly question but what is a Great Nanny? ( It sounds like a large goat to me but I'm guessing not! )

My Grandmother (so therefore K and D's Great Grandmother. We always call them Nanny rather than Gran or anything else.)

Thanks! I knew it was a stupid question.
And definitely AAAAAAAHHHHHH!

[Wulfruna]

Absolutely AAAAAAhhhhhh-OOOOOOOooohh

Beautiful sunny day, stunning bride, moving ceremony in Loseley Great Hall, champagne (lots) in the amazing gardens, yummy afternoon tea in the tithe barn, speeches which brought a tear to many an eye, wonderful guitar music and singing from Dibble and piano from my niece, a beautiful wedding cake made by my other niece, a brilliant live funk band, lots of dancing and fun.

=Happy Mummy.

The wedding was yesterday, and I am now home, sitting in an exhausted heap!!

[Bunnylump]

The cake, by the way, was lemon sponge, with lemon buttercream icing, and the "confetti" was made by hand, she sliced things like beetroot, pineapple, etc., glacéd (does that word exist??) them, then dried them, and cut them into flower shapes. Pretty impressive when you have a 2 month old in tow!!

[LAT]

So glad it all went well.
I was thinking about you - and even commented to a couple of passers by when discussing the weather yesterday what a lovely day you must have had for the wedding.

Looking forward to more details when you have the time/energy.

Glad it all went well, it sounds like you had a day to remember. The cake looks lovely and sounds yummy!

[Wulfruna]

Thanks for sharing this with us - we have all felt so involved in the preparations and were "with" you in all sorts of senses....
How splendid to have such a lovely Spring day to make things perfect

[Bunnylump]

Yes, indeed. The weather was perfect. Loseley is in such a nice spot. This is the view from the house.


And, if you would all like an AAaaah moment...

[Bunnylump]

Oh, and one more. How cute were these guests on a scale of 1-10?

[Bunnylump]

This is MY family! (And then I'll stop going on about weddings, sorry! )

[chazzie]

Lovely photo and love your outfit really springlike.

[Bunnylump]

Thank you!

[Wulfruna]

Fabulous! You look gorgeous And can't we tell she's your daughter!!

[Bunnylump]

Sorry, I KNOW I said I would shut up about weddings. But this is the most hysterical photo of K yet. Can't imagine where she gets that big grin from...
