It has been a pleasant week. David and Chanel are here because Chanel has been doing work experience at my school in East Kilbride, so it has been lovely to see them. I was very busy at school getting everything finished and tidied before I leave next Friday. And I took Grandma for an appointment at the audiology department at the New Victoria which went very well. After about five weeks of absolutely brilliant weather, the rain finally arrived. The endless sunshine couldn’t last forever. It’s actually quite strange to have grey skies again! But it’s not all bad, it’s still warm and in between showers we can still go for lots of walks and sit in the garden.
And today we were sitting outside in Bill and Katy’s garden in Biggar during their Golden Wedding Anniversary party. It was a very happy occasion and as Jennifer, Janie, Julie and I were all sitting with Bill chatting to him I overheard someone saying “There’s Bill with his adoring nieces!” Well it’s true! Bill and Katy had put up a display board with photographs from their wedding. Katy looked so beautiful and Bill looked like a cool 1960s guy. I was their flower girl (aged five) and there were a few photos of me, one with me dancing with my Dad which I found very moving. I remember my beautiful pale blue dress and matching hairband so well. I can hardly believe that it was fifty years ago.
Katy was telling me that around that time she once took me home from school when my Mum was in hospital and I told her that “My Grandma said that I am the best girl in the world” Again I found this very moving because my Grandma died when I was three. I have no recollection of her telling me that now (although I remember my Grandma very well) so it was very nice to hear, like a voice from the past.
