| A Normal Welsh Outfit |
Today is my sister in law's Birthday, it's another milestone for her in a somewhat difficult year - I cannot quite believe that we have nearly reached the first anniversary of my brother's death.
Time sees to gallop on when you are teetering on the wrong side of 50, does it not?
It only seems like yesterday that we were all struggling with that awful experience of losing a sibling, a husband and a father and now we are almost 12 months down the line
People that "Marry into" a family, often morph effortlessly into that family.
Jayne is such a person. She was "there" when Janet and I were still children. She was there when we have hurtled through the brickbats of adulthood..
and she will be there, I am sure, when we will be all drawing our pensions
Happy Birthday Chuck!
We will call up later

I had heard that there aren't many dalmatians left in North Wales.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to John's strikingly beautiful sister-in-law. I just love the Welsh outfit and spent ages just gazing at the ensemble (love the Dalmatian brooch and flamboyant headgear) and her serene expression. Yes, I remember the loss of your brother last year. Great that Jayne is there for you and I'm sure she appreciates your love and support. Hope you're having a great weekend. Jo
ReplyDeleteI bet your animal flock are a bit scared of Jayne - with her being Cruella de Vil and all. Good job William isn't a Dalmatian!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jayne, and give that girl a medal (or a stiff drink!). She looks fab! xxx
ReplyDeleteShe looks great !
ReplyDeleteObviously picked up your dress sense too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your SIL.

Hard to believe it has almost been a year. I feel the same way about time flying by as I approach 50. I hope Jayne has a wonderful birthday. Love the photo!
ReplyDeleteA Welsh Dalmatian, one presumes? Happy B'day SIL.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jayne! You look adorable and BTW, I love the "hair"! Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you are not "teetering," not yet! Second, after a lifetime together, a year isn't that long. Third, I assume Jayne is of French extraction? Happy birthday, Jayne DeVille!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jayne, a fellow Libran, we like balance in all things, a cup of tea in one hand, a Hobnob in the other LOL
ReplyDeleteLoving that Ying and Yang hairdo :-D
Happy Birthday Jayne,
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, I think you should bring the outfit along on the next trip the Sitges you look great.
With much love Tim and Ann xx
Happy Birthday Jane, from me too. You look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour family sound lovely. Unfortunately the family I married into (half)jokingly call us the 'outlaws'. If you are born a G then you can do no wrong and if you marry into the Gs you can do no right. A little like the Royals methinks. As much as I love MiL my secret nickname for her is Hyacinth 'Bookay'! In spite of her vascular dementia and needing a care home urgently, her wants are: a big house (ie grand looking) but modern and clean inside, with nice sitting rooms, and a large single bedroom - Bless.

I do hope Jayne had a lovely birthday. Quite a get-up, it makes me think i should do something special on my b'day.
ReplyDeleteIf that outfit is any indication of your SIL's personality, she must be have one bubbly personality. I hope she had a wonderful birthday. You're right; the years do go faster.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jayne.
ReplyDeleteHalf my hair's gone gray too but your sister demonstrates an unfamiliar pattern. My compliments on the effect!
