I thought when I started Blogging I would get all the family introduced - well that was the plan!!! With just days to go - here are the last two - Tom and Nunciatina. Nunci's parents came over to England from Italy when they were children nad settled in Bedford - about an hours drive north of where we live! Tom and Nunci met on holiday - who says holiday romances don't last! They have a little boy called William, who is 1 year old - just born a few weeks after Meg and David had Katie; which is quite nice to have cousins a similar age! Tom works in London - which makes him a commuter!
So just to summarise - I had three boys - Eddie, Adam and Peter, and Baz had Jenny, Meg and Tom! We met after our respective spouses sought pastures new and left us minding the children! Baz's divorce was very acrimonious - it was a difficult time and we started out by commiserating and supporting each other and all our children! That was 23 years ago - mutual help turned into friendship and then love! Jon came along to complete the picture.
Baz and I were married by Dad in 2000 and we celebrate 10 years of marriage whilst we are in the States!! We got married in the little chapel in Derbyshire that Mum and Dad reopened and where Mum is buried.
So we have a big family and they are all grown up and having children and we are getting even larger! Some clouds are lined with silver, my cloud has lots of children!!! So now I have told you all about me and next week when we meet- I can do alot of listening! Can't wait!
I've started sorting out clothes - its a girl thing and I'm sure most of you boys think we're weird! I have also been watering the garden in the hopes that everything will be so saturated it will survive without me! To be honest, Jon is good at keeping everything ticking over - however, he doesn't eat the veg so the courgettes will be marrows when we get back. The jasmine is out in flower - I can't convey the smell - i wish i could - it makes watering the garden relaxation rather than a chore!
