All my Christmases at once!

I haven't been able to find the words to describe the incredible evening which was Gav & Scott's wedding ...

Since I've known them, they've spoilt me rotten and infused me with more Christmas Spirit (the whole year round!) than I thought possible. Through them I've learnt to love December again and to relish the mulled wine flowing through my veins.

The first Christmas I knew them they got engaged, and finally, three years later they tied the knot in a celebration that was completely them ... right down to the mini Christmas dinner canapes!

I'm eternally grateful to have them both as friends and so pleased to be part of such a beautiful day.

A picture says a thousand words ... plus, I didn't take my camera!

A Reading by Elizabeth Pfahl
An extract from an Ancient Sanskrit Poem by Kalidasa
Look to this day-
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence-
The bliss of growth;
The glory of action;
The splendour of beauty.
For yesterday is already a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope-
Look well, therefore, to this day.

Snow!!!

First snow of the season!!

Trudged to work in the snow this morning (where did all those people come from?!) and have just spent the past 10 minutes looking out the windows as the snow flutters down ... with sub-zero temperatures for the past week, there's no doubt it's winter!!!

Hooray!
