18, with a bouquet

D came home with a bouquet for me today, for our 18 th anniversary on Monday. He's knows he'll be pushed for time on Mon ( final accounts time, bah!) and he likes to go into the florists and choose the flowers himself, so he had bought me lilies, antirrhinums, delphiniums and something I'd not seen before, lizianthus. Its the colours I love to wear ( blue, purple, pink and white) and is my own cottage garden. He chooses me such gorgeous things. One year he got me a huge bunch of sunflowers and they were such a happy , uplifting arrangement.
Wonderful man!
We went to listen to the Kevock choir last night at the Rosslyn chapel. I've never been inside the chapel before and its an amazing place. the choir were fantastic, as ever. Interestingly they sang " The Battle Hymn of the Republic", "My eyes have seen the coming of the glory of the Lord"
which ties in beautifully with listening to"Little Women" by L.M. Alcott on CraftLit. They also sang "Valiant -For-Truth" by Vaughan Williams, which is based on one of the characters in "A Pilgrim's Progress", again linking to Little Women.

J2 would be delighted ( I think) to have heard them sing "The British Grenadier" as she has been practising this on the trumpet for weeks. I will never complain about the cold in our church again, as it was freezing in the chapel. We were warned on the tickets to wrap up warm, and I did, but I didn't take hat and gloves ( I will next time!!).

This is the right front of Mimi, which I'm delighted with. I haven't had chance to cast on the left side yet, as I had to get J2 ready to go away on her trip. But as my fingers were itching to knit yesterday I did do a few rows on the baby blanket to go with the cardi.
I never realised how addictive this hobby could be. If I'd taken it with me to the chapel last night I might have caused a riot as everyone would have wanted the blanket! Even the choir!
I was very proud of C for the singing.
