Queen of Lists


Mum returns from her wedding in Derbyshire making record time down on the clear roads and arriving well before lunch. Dad is out. He's given us a good walk round the cemetery but then taken off to the SB Cambria to join the army of volunteers down there in the warm breezy weather slapping yet more undercoat onto the barge's flat belly. One new face among the volunteers today, Dad's 2CV chum 'Enthusiastic Pete'.
Mum has thoroughly enjoyed herself, being part of the wedding of cousin Danielle and meeting all the others. Danielle, she reports is a one for her 'lists'. Anyone who knows Mum knows she will make a list for any event - holidays, social gatherings, special meals, jobs and tasks as well as the run-of-the-mill shopping lists. This girl though, is in a league of her own, says Mum and family member, fellow guest and official wedding photographer, Ian had the list of required photo groups saved to his 'blackberry' and had to keep referring to it lest he miss one vital shot.
Talking of which, Dad is one for his photography and Mum is now gently teasing him into 'camera envy' having admired Ian's collection of Canon bodies and lenses. Dad says... 'look - there are worse sins and worse ways to spend your hard earned cash'.
