Remember the lady with orange hair?
And her husband
Yes, that IS an octopus fascinator and she calls him Ishmael. I will be in Loughborough at a coffee morning for the Macmillan Nurses when you’re reading this. Leo’s Dad died of cancer last year and his Mum is bravely hosting at her home. I foresee a little fun in my weekend, though I won’t be wearing an octopus any time soon.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to respond to any comments today but I hope you’ll all still be playing Six word Saturday. Cate at Show My Face hopes so too. I’m scheduling this post because I’m away all weekend. Catch up with you next week! Take care!

Your lovely daughter is certainly not a shy violet is she? o-O I love the orange hair and matching dress. Hope you are having a lovely weekend away – I’m sure you are.

Nope! 🙂 At 6′ it’s hard to hide, Jude, and since she learnt it’s easier to take centre stage that’s how it’s been. Thanks- we’re having a great time.

No! Have I missed something, deep in the southern hemisphere? It’s a pretty fascinating fascinator. Maybe not an octopus, but will you be wearing a fascinator of some description?

I resisted the urge, Meg, and actually Lisa didn’t wear one on this occasion. It was just coffee and cakes, in aid of a cancer charity (which Leo’s Dad died from). The photo I’ve used is from a themed event they went to a few weeks ago. 🙂
