It's Strangely Quiet...

since the boys went back to school yesterday. I'm not sure I like it! 

Anyway, everyone survived the first day - Craig had a brilliant first day at high school and is looking forward to some new subjects today too.

So last week Andy and I were invited to see two very special people renew their vows in Edinburgh. Andy's cousin Jen and her husband Mark were married in Canada 14 years ago. I remember their wedding cos Andy's Dad was over there for it and we phoned him to tell him that we were going to get married the next year :) 

I was at a bit of a loss as I wasn't sure what kind of card to go for so I decide to go with a sentiment and a WOW card.  When I put the sentiment on the card I didn't realise that the vows they were going to use on the day would be the same vows they said on their wedding day!  

Anyway we had a super day and it was fab to see them renew their vows.
