This weekend our Grandson came down to stay for a couple of days as he had a friends wedding to attend in Sussex.
We always love to see him as he lived with us for four years and we are very close., but as soon as he hits the kitchen it is chaos. He plonks his bags down and I suppose because we are usually living this quiet orderly life it seems like there is an elephant in the house. lol
On Saturday morning he got up and showered etc and was almost ready when he called down that Celeste would be here in 5 minutes as they were going to the wedding together.
Now.... I had to sleep in the bedroom with Tom (husband) as Tom (Grandson) had the spare room that I usually sleep in now and so I didn't get the best nights sleep due to puffing billy in the bed opposite. aka, Tom poofing and snoring.
Therefore when Tom (Grandson) called this message down I was still in dissaray. No makeup, no earrings and wearing my old caftan with no time to do anything about it, and the fact that Celeste is to put it mildly, Glamorous put me in a bit of a panic. lol
I should explain that Celeste is a singer who Tom discovered in Brighton and has been promoting for a couple of years and she was singing at the wedding. (Tom works in the music industry looking for new talent and organising videos etc )
All was well in the end and once she entered my kitchen she fell in love with it and the jigsaw floor and I'm just hoping that she didn't notice dishevelled Nan. ha ha.
Here's the two of them ready for the off.
See what I mean about Glamorous....
I've spared you a photo of me in my caftan. lol
What a lovely couple and it all must seem like a whorl wind to you :) Congratulations and happiness and health to the whole family!
ReplyDeleteShe is a bit of a glamour puss, and probably just as nice as she is pretty. I hope they had a nice time at the wedding and with you.
ReplyDeleteWow, a total glamour couple! But I would have LOVED to see you in your caftan, DARN! The young ones all seem to do things on the spur of the moment and at the last minute. The older I get, the more time and planning I need.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she did not mind you being without makeup etc! It is years since I wore any makeup, found a lipstick the other day that I wore when I got married for the second time in 1991! How lovely to have young Tom staying for a few days too
ReplyDeleteThey look a nice couple. I think you worried for nothing. Nice to have their company for a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteThey do look rather nice - love the material her dress is made from, and oh to be able to wear shoes like that again.
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky ( sort of) that he warned you Celesre was coming 😊
I 'lost' my bolt hole 2nd bedroom for a few nights when the babe and his Mum were here. Makes for stressful sleep hoping someone's not going to making steam engine noises all night long lol
I am with you, I would be flustered to have that beauty see me in disarray or even aray.. ha ha... I know about the poofing you described. bob only does it once in a while, sometimes he sounds like the little choo choo on I think I can.
ReplyDeleteWell don't they make a nice looking couple. I would have felt like a wilted weed next to a showy flower if I was standing next to her...lol
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are a handsome couple. Though I don't think any of us here would be critical of you in your caftan. You are a lovely lady. So nice that young Tom had time to stop in and visit.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have your grandson visit! I imagine Celeste didn't think one way or the other about your not wearing make-up or what you had on. They make a lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteShe sure is gorgeous. He's a handsome guy too. I'm quite sure she didn't mind that you were not dressed up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple. Mick and I have got used to living on our own now that Daniel's moved out and Eleanor's at university so it's a bit of a shock to the system when either of them come home.
ReplyDeleteShe IS glamorous! It's always a shock to the routine to have a houseguest, even one who used to live with you!
ReplyDeleteI would have felt like a wilted weed next to a showy flower if I was standing next to her...lol
