LOOKING FORWARD TO...

... a weekend with my sister. She's coming on Saturday morning and we're going to spend a couple of days making the floral decorations for the wedding favours for Rachel's wedding in December. Charles, James and Claire are going across to Preston to see Grandma, so it will just be Helen and me here, with Christina of course. I think we need to set up a bit of a factory if we're going to get this done efficiently. Hopefully though, by the end of the weekend we should have everything complete - and well ahead of schedule!! I'm also hoping that Langley Castle can accommodate us for an extra night. We're booked in for the night of the wedding, but I've suggested to Charles that we really need to be there the previous night, so that I have bags of time to set up the cake before guests start arriving. PLUS, we'll be able to get ready in our own suite, instead of having to gatecrash someone else's room. I don't think Charles really appreciates how much better this will be than the alternative which is either to drive to Langley Castle the day before, set up the cake, drive home again and return the next day, or set off early on the morning of the wedding, set up the cake and then hope we can find somewhere to get changed because we probably won't have access to our room until after the ceremony. This may all sound like a fuss about nothing, but it actually kept me awake last night - and that is really worrying when a) it's three months away and b) it's not even our wedding to be worrying about!! Right - time for bed I think!!
