Today we met up with Mr W's family to celebrate his uncle's 60th birthday - we had a lovely lunch out before going home for tea and birthday cake! Many Happy Returns Greg!

A sad start to today as it was Thomas' funeral but afterwards we headed to the coast to enjoy a picnic on the beach in the sunshine. I think Thomas would have enjoyed it too!

Congratulations to Prince William and Catherine Middleton on their marriage! Having watched the whole shebang on the television this morning we then joined our neighbours this afternoon for a street party to celebrate! The sun even shone for us after a rather dull start to the day.

The company I work for is 250 years old this year and to celebrate we've all been given a commemorative book documenting Lloyd's Register's history over the last 250 years. It's quite a hefty tome...

This evening I went to the Annual National Seafarers Service at St Pauls Cathedral with my Mum's cousin's husband, my parents and Princess Anne. Actually she didn't sit with us but she was there all the same for this annual celebration of seafarers past and present.
