11/7 Chelmsford Essex England

11/7--Tuesday-- was a very busy day I will recap . I was up again early to take a nice walk. It is cloudy, a bit rainy, without rain, and beautiful. It is a gift to be walking in England, old England...WOW
We went into London to a plant and tree wholesale house and and to the floral wholesale house to make sure we have the flowers and supplies that we want for Emily's wedding. Ann is involved with the Lawn Bowls Club. She travels with them to participate in tournaments all over Europe.They are having a huge event, we are doing the flowers for that as well.So we picked them all out, containers and all.
On the way home we stopped at Capel Manor College in London. Ann had made an plan to stop there for a visit and for me to talk/lecturer the students of American Design, not a formal lecturer, they wanted to know about the markets in USA , what the designers in shops and event sites do. They wanted to know what they make for wages, if there are jobs, what the designers are to wear, design magazines, everything.It was a very nice time . They were doing some vignettes on wedding d design, we watched, talked and headed for home.
At home we began to moss the letters and hearts to decorate for the wedding. We transplanted trees Monday night so they can settle in before we need them. Each moment is an adventure.
We went to the church for rehearsal Tuesday evening. The Vicar is wonderful, low key, funny and really interested in the young couple and the family. This is a huge family , there 6 brides maids, so lots of fun family. It is an old old country English church with the cemetery right in the front and side yard, just like in the movies. After that we went to the country club to the reception site. We had a delightful dinner of fish and chips, so so good.
When I have another lesson on how to add pictures I will and put the description on each.
