    Happy anniversary, I must be only partially cool only recognise half of the songs, they are good ones though.

    Mr MWC is really into his music and this was his attempt to educate me :rotfl:

    Loving the music choices - my DH would approve greatly - and of your wedding song - he is a MASSIVE REM fan :D

    Happy Anniversary to you both x Think your dad tidying the veil away is really funny! (although I suspect it wasn't at the time!:eek:)

    Ah Happy Anniversary!!
    Had to laugh at the veil story :rotfl: sure it wasn't funny at the time, but what a good story to have to look back on! ;)
    Loving the tape for cool people too - I know most of the songs does that make me "almost-cool"? :rotfl:

    Thank you for the good wishes :)

    We are having a dad-free Sunday :T

    I've made 16 jars of hedgerow jelly (2 batches) and 4 jars of spiced crab apple jelly (1 batch, larger jars!), I have another batch of crab apples dripping and I'll cook another 2 kg of crab apples this evening.

    There is still a crab apple mountain - I think I'll be cooking them every evening this week :(
