This is for you, Ant- Gemma and I in the garden just before she left for the boat today. Sad to see her go - the next time she'll arrive with you and Gareth - can't wait!!! We're on healthy diets as preparation for the wedding. I have ordered the most wonderful hat - a local lady who is very artistic and creates the most superb hats - you should see her work!! You just don't realise all these artistic people live in Guernsey - she is making hats for Ascot, Paris etc - stunning modern designs. Mine perches on the side of my head and will match my outfit - coppery/mink brown with fuschia feathers - they aren't full feathers - long feather spines with a dot of colour at the ends - can't really explain it but Gemma approves. I found this photo of us taken at Da Nello's last summer - will we swim a lot this year do you think?

And this is of you (Antoinette) and Pop when you were 18 months old - your hair was really curly then too

I have lots of sewing to do now - embroidering Gemma's wedding dress, finishing bridesmaid's bags etc. will start afresh next week!!
