Following the lead from some of my contemporaries and proving that you don't require photoshop to have fun here's my first clone. Granted, some of the shadows are a little dodgy and the Andy's are a little bunched up but, you have to admit that it's not bad considering the photos were taken before the word cloning entered my mind and before a tripod was even purchased.

My life is not my own right now it seems, I spend my days working and my evenings organising. Plans are coming along now with nearly all of the evening invites out and the breakfast menus trickling back slowly, it's a bit like Christmas every time one comes through the door! We've also had a few comments made on the wedding list which is nice to see, if only because it proves I've written something people understand for a change!

So, despite a rather disappointing year tomato wise we do have a few sitting on the windowsill waiting to go red and some on the pot that didn't get poorly slowly going orange. Not sure if any of the windowsill ones will actually turn into anything edible but at least we have some colour going on there at the moment

So we're back, we've made it, we got to Wales and back without getting lost A very long drive on Sunday, my birthday, saw us get to Chester in one piece although the weather didn't follow us there. 71 miles , the furthest I've ever driven and I only nearly killed us once...

Despite a rather harsh fitting lady we completed the first fitting for my dress on Saturday, a rather dull experience of which there are at least another two to go We then proceeded to put rose through the same dress buying experience I had had to endure the other month which is rather more fun when it's not happening to yourself
