I too had a lovely day yesterday. Sometimes nice things do happen to help us cope.
We went to a Garden Party a fund raiser for Alzheimer's, the lady that gave it lost her husband a few years ago,and this has become an annual event in his memory.
She lives in a small Welsh village but the whole village it seems come out to support....there were fantastic cakes for afternoon tea, a raffle, guess the name of the garden gnome competition, guess how much money in a jar, and plants and homemade jams chutnies etc for sale.
An ex colleague of mine and her husband live in the village and came with us, we sat in the delightful garden and enjoyed tea and a chat from 2pm and left about 5pm it was so lovely and warm.
Would you believe I won first prize in the raffle a fantastic box of fruit about 15 varieties. Then our friends won the guess the money in the jar and the prize was £30 B&Q voucher.
After we left went back to our friends garden and had more tea and left about 7pm a most relaxing day for us both. Especially as Vic hadn't really wanted to go!
These lovely people actually didn't know Vic until after he was diagnosed and I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and kindness.
Perfect weekend for me really following on from seeing Mamma Mia on Saturday.
