Lauren Young's Christening - October 2008

We headed up to Chatteris, Cambridgeshire the last weekend of October to attend the Christening of Lauren Young. Lauren is Ben's cousin, Donna's daughter. Donna and Mark had asked Ben and I to be Godparents to Lauren, and we were very honoured to be asked. It was a lovely weekend in which we were able to celebrate Lauren's Christening, as well as Donna and Mark's 2nd wedding anniversary and Ben's 2 years in the UK!

Lauren all rugged up for a walk around Ely after lunch, the Ely Cathedral

Last Night of the BBC Proms - September 2008

Ben made a huge sacrifice by getting us tickets for the Last Night of the Proms in the Park! It was an unusually sunny and warm day, so a perfect day for a picnic. We arrived when the gates opened and with the thousands of other people found a place to sit and relax before the evening started. It was such a great way to spend the afternoon, especially as the weather was so good, and I had lots of fun singing along to all the songs!! Will try and do it again next year.

Enjoying the sunshine & the thousands of people having a picnic and showing their patriotism!

The massive stage, a pink Union Jack, and enjoying the wine!

Amazingly we're still wearing our sunglasses, Ben had to take this photo as one of his footy mates is called 'Worker', me singing along and the crowd getting louder.
