September has been a very busy month and today, 25th September is my first blogspot of the month.
On 18th September my husband and I celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We decided to mark this wonderful occasion with a series of celebration lunches, the first one on 4th September, another on 12th September and a third one tomorrow. Another will be held in North Yorkshire early October. They have all been in different venues in various parts of the country which we felt were more convenient for various branches of the family. Many of our relatives are now elderly and we though it was best to have lunches within easy reach. All occasions have been super.
We have been spoiled with cards, gifts and so much love, it’s been amazing.
Two cards particularly stood out:
A lovely personalised card from our daughter, son in law and granddaughter.
And another from my sister and her husband who celebrated their Diamond Anniversary on 23rd September. They received a card from our Queen!
In between celebrations I have done some sewing and knitting.
RSC orange blocks:
Other RSC blocks:
Some Sunshine Lotto blocks:
And I have knitted a little white cardigan and a striped blanket for another parcel to send to Evie, the trainee midwife in London.

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary! <3 <3
