Thank you Pompeylil - that is so very kind of you.

We are both thrilled of course.

Such a wonderously happy event   :) and yet inevitably tinged with sadness :(.

Thanks badger   :)

echogirl1, lotty and Anne - thank you  :)

Anne - I remember when Rachel was born. I friend asked "what" we had and when I replied a girl, he replied "Oh bad luck". I had no idea what he meant so asked. "That's a wedding" he replied.

At the time I though what an odd thing to say. But he was right - before I blinked it seemed I was walking Rachel down the ailse.

suzzpuss, toky,shamless2, ArtyMat and cef - thanks for your kind works. They give me another excuse to post a photo (as if I needed one). There are lots and lots of lovely photographs but this is a particular favourite for fairly obvious reasons. Good to see the present Mrs H looking so happy again.
