    Lots of peas :(

    Probably grown by Charles and absolutely delicious, fresh peas are very different to frozen.

    One Mother watching :


    One Mother watching, one Mother proud,
    Two Nations witness and cheering aloud,
    One bride devoted, one groom to take,
    One life together, one love to make.
    One modern marriage in one ancient place,
    Two blessed children Gods given grace,
    Ancient traditions Hymns sung this day,
    One future King to give her away.
    One Mother witness, heart filled with pride,
    Standing so proudly at her daughter!!!8217;s side,
    History making in England!!!8217;s own way,
    Two Nations witness, our faith on this day.
    (God bless you both)

    Did you know ... you can pay in cheques on your H4lifax banking app?

    It is under the 3 dots - you just take a photo of the front and back of the cheque then keep hold of the paper copy until it shows as cleared. It apparently clears in 2 days compared to 4 if you pay it in over the counter.

    Useful to save a trip to the bank - or would be if I could get it to recognise this VM cheque :mad:.

    HTH
