Lovely day. Sun came out occasionally. Loads of lovely new people met. Dogs happily running around scarfing dropped food. Son played football. Daughter coloured in chalk bunting decorating the pavements.
Played boules. Had a go an Alpine horn, sadly seem to have lost my embouchure but hit a few notes. Drenched after waterballoon-tossing competition went badly awry. Broke my son, not a good plan to burst a waterbomb down the neck of a sobbing child. Especially not when you caused the pain-based sobs in the first place.
Shared food with friends. ''Bobby on the beat" biscuits seemingly a success. Bought raffle tickets. Didn't win a single prize. Didn't win the cake competition either.
Had a great afternoon and plans are already afoot for the Jubilee in 2012.

Wedding words part four.
'Then a young man said 'Speak to us of Friendship.' and He
replied 'Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field in
which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for
your peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your
own mind nor do you withold the 'ay'.
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart:
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all
expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
Let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your
tide let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you shuld seek him with hours to
kill? Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and
sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.'

Wedding words part three.
Above you are the stars
Below you are the stones.
As times does pass
Remember,
Like a star your love shouldbe constant.
Like a stone your love should be firm.
Be close, yet not too close.
Be close, yet not too close.
Have patience each with the other
For storms will come but they will quickly go.
Be free in giving of affection and warmth.
Now and always.
