May time, may day celebrations

Here we are into the fifth month of the year - where has the time gone? This is now the time for May Day Traditions and Customs in England where we also get another Bank Holiday. Fortunately Jude is not working on this one so will be able to enjoy the time off with Ray.

Last Friday we had the funeral for Ray's mum Edie. It was a lovely service and she would have been very pleased with the number of people who came both to the crematorium and back to the house for tea and sandwiches.

Ess, Jude's mum, is making small steps of progress each day - she is a little frustrated that she isn't tripping the light fantastic at the moment but she has made huge progress considering what she has been through these past months.

April was a difficult month for Ray and Jude who have also have been busy with work but are now looking forward to a couple of weeks annual leave starting 13th May. Nothing major planned apart from a few days away in Whitstable Kent - it is an area neither of us have been to and is only a couple of hours drive away. We also hope to catch up with friends for dinner or drinks and spend some time in the garden relaxing. The last day of our leave, 27th May, is our 1st Wedding Anniversary - wow married a year and even more in love and they said it wouldn't last!!!!!

This month also sees a number of birthdays in the family - Ess and Kia share their birthday on the 13th - Ess will be 84 and Kia 2 - Ben turns 20 on the 15th and Justin turns 30 on the 25th.
