I can't believe that it's almost a month since my last blog - sorry! But in my defence, it's been a really busy few weeks with one thing and another. My niece got married at the end of January, and it's probably fair to say that I was somewhat more involved than is usually expected of an Aunt.My daughter was a most beautiful bridesmaid (much to her disdain - but as the only other girl in the family she graciously agreed to play the part) and my assortment of nephews dutifully played their parts as pageboy, ring-bearer and ushers.
We are a very close bunch - and it's not a rare occasion for the immediate family to get together. But for the first time in a few years, we had all four generations together for the afternoon - my daughter, me, my Mum and my Nan - who is 90 in a couple of weeks. It must be lovely for her to be able to see her 'ever expanding brood' celebrating together, and in the not too distant future, the next generation will arrive - my niece is expecting her first child at the end of May. It's a bit scary really, it was only five minutes ago that I was babysitting the bride - and I'm way to young to be a great Aunt...

You're right, far too young to be a great Aunt - deny everything!
You do sound like a very close knit family, which is such a blessing.
And I am sure you will be a great, (great Aunt)Dx
Thanks for close knit families. I am so glad that there are such families. I used to belong to a close knit family, but unfortunately we do not see much of one another no, but I am glad you family are close kni, and hope it continues so
