Diamond Jubilee celebrations



I had a great weekend last weekend. It was my big Diamond birthday and I celebrated with a ceilidh  in a local hotel. Many of my friends and family came along and we all had great fun. On Sunday my family organised a bbq and we had a great day. I had planned to set off 60 sky lanterns at the party on Saturday but unfortunately it was blowing a gale and they were being buffeted by the wind and it was all a bit of a disappointment. However Sunday was beautifully calm so we managed to release about 20 and they floated off gracefully in to the night sky.

I got loads of beautiful presents and I had to open them in three sessions because I was getting so emotional. Now I will have to get the thank you letters written.

Life is back to normal this week and with no party to organise and think about I have managed to fill my time though I am not sure what I achieved. This evening we are off to the ice hockey with my friend, my son and his family
