Introducing the Wolkensteins

My memory of the day is a complete blur. Not alcohol induced but happiness induced. I think it may have been the most casual wedding in history, and despite that we all still managed to look gorgeous! We were so relaxed down at Hyam's that we were still getting dressed when the guests arrived. The weather was glorious, the food was incredible and mum and dad did the most amazing job of organising every last detail. We even had "Julian loves Bec" boiled sweets!

And the house was really something else. We stayed there for 4 days and it was REALLY hard to leave. It was so wonderful to see everyone. I could go on and on about all the details, but at the risk of sounding cliched, the pictures do say it all.

There aren't many pics of Betty Jean as she had sun cream in her eyes so was not in the best mood. There will be more of her in the "rest of the trip" blog.

The domestic calm before the storm

Lettuces, and what might be baby spinach, or might
be rocket or might be bulbless onions.
Only time will tell.

Our yummy tomatoes - of course
most of them will ripen while we are away.

The rest of the photos are - guess who. Today's blog
is one for the grandparents really.

We're off to Australia very soon, so we've been relaxing while we can. Our garden is finally producing loads of things we can actually eat. Betty Jean has been giving me a hard time lately, refusing to be fed - she will only eat if allowed to pick up the food herself. We didn't take pictures because it was too upsetting, but her high chair recently looked as though Prince had vomited on it. Betty Jean even had purple mush up her nose. We're very proud, BJ can crawl backwards. Getting excited about the trip, but have a sense of dread about all the things we probably should do before we go. Best not plan too much, but let the chaos wash over me and us.

Julian is very important

Florence has been used on all the AOP's promo material, and here she is in today's Times. Hats off to Julian and Micah and Ali and of course Amy AKA Florence. Betty Jean and I are very proud.
