PLEASE FORGIVE THE LONG BLOGGING SILENCE ...

being Mother-of-the-Bride (aka Wedding Planner) seems to be taking every waking moment. The big event is four weeks today, after the hoo-ha has all died down, normal service will be resumed.


A month before the wedding I checked my lists and see

Twelve dozen chairs


Eleven kilos strawberries



Ten dozen canapes


Nine cases Champers



Eight flavours of ice cream


Seven waiters waiting






Six punts a-punting










Five tiers of cake



Four mobile loos



Three types of cheese*











Two gorgeous bouquets




AND


One very large marquee!






Not to mention one organic Hog Roast, eight litres dried flower petals for confetti, 17 bottles of Mrs
Dart's Excellent Elderflower Cordial, one firkin of ale, two djs, seven dozen quail's eggs, a truckload of salads, 4 sides of smoked salmon; and last but by no means least, 150 meters of wedding bunting made by my own fair hand - for which I expect to get The Best Mother in the World Award.
