are a forgiving bunch so just in brief these are my cause for celebration this week:
Less than a week to the return of my DD back from Australia after 7 months - I just can't quite believe it!!
Great success with the Charity Garden Party I helped organise this week - see yesterday's post for more photos and details
I finished decorating the spare room where the ceiling came down - more in my upcoming Creative Monday post!!
Also celebrating a long Bank Holiday weekend here in England with my parents coming over for a couple of days too which will be lovely :)
Hoping everyone else is having a wonderful weekend & now I'm off to do that last bit of tidying up before guests arrive!
What does your weekend hold? Why not join in and say what you're celebrating this week?

Pempi -- Oh, you are in England! I knew it was not the US but I'm not sure I ever realized which country. The garden party looks lovely! Enjoy your time with your DD. It is Memorial Day weekend in the US.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne - have a lovely long weekend yourself :)
DeleteSeven months is a long time - I bet you'll both be so happy to see each other! Congrats on the Garden party and the room decoration. Have a wonderful weekend and a great time with your guests! :)
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, now she's on her way home it doesn't seem to have been as long but whilst we were going through it - it seemed like forever!! Time is funny like that! Have a super weekend yourself, Lexa :)
Deletesounds like a splendid weekend ahead. Enjoy your guests. We are rainy here, which is fine. It gives me an excuse to be lazy. Take care
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - if the weather is sunny I should be out tackling my garden so sometimes a rain shower is a welcome relief! Have a lovely, lazy weekend, Joanne :)
DeleteI would be so excited to see my daughter after 7 months! I'll bet your garden party was super fun! Why do they call it a Bank Holiday? Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula :) In the late Victorian times, banks closed on certain weekdays during the year and as trading couldn't take place without the banks they became holidays for everyone. This also became customary in England for the middle classes to begin to go on holiday - normally to the seaside for that long weekend :)
DeleteI've done weekend edition Celebrations myself. Sometimes that's just the way life goes. Have a wonderful long weekend with your daughter and family!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I like you lot so much at this bloghop - you understand that life sometimes gets in the way of postings! Enjoy your weekend too, Loril :)
DeleteWhat a homecoming you must have had! Thanks for commenting on my site!
ReplyDeleteI will be so happy to see her but I think she'll probably fall asleep in the car on the way back from the airport as she'll have been travelling for almost 40 hours coming back from Tasmania via Brisbane and Dubai!!
DeleteSounds like a lot of things to celebrate this week. Your charity garden party looks great, hope it went really well for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm looking forward to seeing your repair work, it was looking pretty good when you last shared it.
Enjoy having all of your family together. :-)
I will do and thank you for your kind thoughts :)
