with friends who live in the same block of flats as them, and a few family members DATES FOR
including two of their four great grandchildren.
We took along cakes and prosecco to the communal lounge and had a lovely YOUR DIARY
time with lots of laughter. Dad recalled how his mother had sorted out lifts to the
church for everyone that day except for the groom and his younger twin brothers,
they ended up getting a bus from Worcester Park, and then having to walk the 2022
rest of the way to more rural Send! Friends wanted to see wedding pictures and I
was given the task of finding the Wedding Album in one of the boxes in the Floral Group Autumn Leaves Communibus Women’s Institute
wardrobe – those of you who have downsized or had to help relatives to downsize
will know the problem going from a three-bedroom bungalow to a one-bedroom Salt and Pepper Club Pop in Place Twinning Gardening Club
flat!
Anyway, I failed in the task, but thankfully Mum did find it later. On their SP 18th Salt and Pepper Club
mantlepiece a card from the Queen took centre place (what a great week to
have a card from Her Majesty) – they had one for their 60 but didn’t realise you
th
can have another one 5 years later. All in all, it was a lovely celebration and 24th Seaton
again, I’m glad Zach and Ruby were there to witness such a rare thing – hopefully,
along with the Platinum Jubilee, it will stay in their memories and be something
they can talk about to their grandchildren or even great grandchildren in the September
future. What a thought!
1st Talk and photographs on Dorset Village with Mary
These days of joy, celebrations and the gathering of happy memories are so Graham
important especially as we know that there will times of sadness in the future. It
always reminds me that God is there with us in those days of joy and in the 7th West Bay
inevitable days of mourning, we’re sad because we love, we love because God
loves us and encourages us to share that love with others. For me there is comfort
and peace knowing God is with me in the making of memories and in continuing
to keep them alive in my heart, I love this quote from The Bible, ‘I am with you 13th Marion Catt talk 2.00pm
always to the end of the age.’ Matthew 28:20.
