We prepared for it in different ways. Stephen went to the football with John and Ewan and shouted himself hoarse. I went for a lovely lunch with June, Jennifer and MinL June then planned to have a relaxing soak in the bath before getting ready. MinL June wasn't feeling too special so I left her snoozing whilst I went to soak. Perhaps as she wasn't well it slipped her mind to mention that I should put on the water heater, or perhaps the water just hit the air and froze, but whatever way there was about 3 inches of lukewarm water in the bath, only cold stuff in the taps and shampoo in my hair. It certainly got the circulation going anyway!!
It was lovely to see all the family together. I can't remember the last time! I was beginning to feel old when I realised that all the kids I last saw when they were knee high were now grown ups!! All the girls had made a huge effort to dress up and there was a fine parade of party dresses on show. Its been a couple of years since I last saw Adele and Ewan and I couldn't believe the leggy lovely who walked in was her! Quite a shock! Jen and Leanne looked gorgeous too! It was great to have a natter with everyone and catch up.
