Wedding: 03/09/2011
 It dawned on me today that I still haven't mentioned about my older my brothers wedding to his wonderful wife Jia Jia. No pictures or nuffin'! My brother lives in China - has done for many years now. He's never had a girlfriend and, at 46 some of us were starting to wonder if he was 'licking the other side of the stamp' if you get my drift!! A couple of years back now, back now Paul announced that he had been seeing Chinese girl and last month they got married in China (a rather formal paper exchange do) and then during August came to the UK for a month of celebrations. You might think this is all little light on the detail and it is but if you want to know more why not check our his blog. He's a great blogger and you can catch up with the story there. Pictures are to come soon but in the meantime here are some pics we had done with them at Grosmont Castle when they were over. 1 Comment Making an entrance!: 25/09/2009
Saw this on Facebook the other. Gotta's be the best wedding entrance I've ever seen. Kind of makes me want to get married again - to Sarah of course! | About the blogger:
Dave started blogging when, as a family, we went to live in India for 3.5 months in '08. You'll find out all about that story by going to our old blog here.
Dave overdid it a bit on the old blog in India with posts going up most days, so since returning to the UK, he has taken a bit of a break but feels now it's time to blog again! (July '09). Blogging is a weird thing and a bit voyeristic at times (!) so why do it? Surely life blogging in the UK will never be as exciting for people as it was in India? Well, the main reason for beginning to blog again is that we are pretty naff at the normal kind of communication! We have a number of good friends that do not live in the UK too and this is just one way we feel we can touch base with them. Feedback is that they are happy (ish) with that too! The final good reason for starting again is that the one person who has hassled me back to blogging is my older brother in China who runs a great blog about his bizzare life in China which you can view here. I guess if I am honest it's him I have in my mind when I blog so, for his sake (as I know he will read it!), if for no one elses...here goes.... Dave ;-) Categories:All ArchivesJanuary 2012 Life mantra:
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought. |
