Donna's Wedding

El and I set off from Reading early in the morning to pick up Nan from Wool. We had to be at the Venue Kingston Maurward College at 11:15 to perform my duties as usher. Donna arrived and had photos outside while everyone inside was wondering if she had had second thoughts and “done a runner”. Much to Matthew relief the doors opened and she walked down the row of seats looking lovely with Dad at her arm. Jacob broke up the moment to shout out hello to a friend on the side, who was then quickly scooped up by mum and taken to the front row. The weather was a bit so so and did not know what it was doing as every 5 minutes it would change its mind. But it cleared up to allow the photographer to get most of the usual mother and farther pictures in, it only tipped down after asking all the blue tie wearers to strike a slightly silly pose, hands crossed and one leg bent a right angles, serves us right for complying with him.

We all made it back to Holmebrdge were the marquee was waiting, wow it looked fantastic all pointy bits like a flash Gordon film ;-). Dad made a fantastic fathers speech to Donna, which made me very proud of him, well done Dad. Matthew’s was very slushy and romantic as the grooms speech should be and the best men’s speech WWF style by Jack and Tim was very funny. From then on in, it was a hazy daze of champagne and wine. The bands were great and had everyone up head banging and jumping around like nutters, Dad and I even did the “wipe out”.

The next day the survivors all went for a walk down to the river and had a great time mucking around jumping in the water and splashing around.


The next day we all went for a walk down to the ford and Jake tried to pump some water out of dry well. This damm hose pipe ban will be the death of people.

Nan gets stuck in the pims and ice cream

Karen Finally had her baby:

Message from Karen:

Hi All,

Well finally i have been allowed out of hospital so thought I'd send a quick email with a few details. Forgive me if you already know some things - its just this is a group email to save on time for the moment.

Isabel (known as Izzy to her friends) Branagh was delivered by emergency c-section on 1st August at 3.43am. She weighed 6lb 3 and was 51cms long. To look at she is tiny but quite long and doesn't seem to fit in most of the baby grows we have bought. Quite funny as they look ridiculously over sized on her.

I am feeling pretty sore and although glad to be at home cant do anything. Very frustrating. But hey the baby is ok and I am no longer waddling about. Not that everyone else is I am so grateful the weather has got cooler!!!

Anyway.. I am sure I shall speak to you all in time but just wanted to send an initial hello.

Miss and love you all lots,

Kazee.
