A little bit of knitting and a lot of love & happiness

Those of you who have followed me since the NDS years will remember Daisy my daughter who worked with me dyeing yarn.
You will be delighted to know Daisy got married last Friday to her wonderful Viking, she's given me permission to share some of the photo's with you, so without further ado here are some of my favourites..........

Dais, her new brother-in-law & Baby Collier, (you will notice the wedding car is slightly unusual - :-)


Dais with her Daddy waiting to walk down the aisle


Mr & Mrs Collier's first kiss, as you can see from the window it rained quite a lot in true Devon style.


Adam is an engineer on the famous Lynton to Lynmouth cliff railway, so of course they had travel down the hill in style on their way to the reception.


Thankfully it had stopped raining by the time we got to Lynmouth.


The two family's plus our assorted dogs on the bridge at Lynbridge.


There was lots and lots of love and hugging.


Adam's Granny made a mountain of wedding cakes.


And then we celebrated till the early hours of the morning.

The flowers were done by the two mummy's (Myself and Jo)


The little bit of knitting is stunning wedding shawl made by Daddy Phil, who had to take 3 days off work to finish in time for the big day


And finally if you are wondering about the AC/DC badge, its because John Arbon Textiles surprised us all by giving one to everyone, it took a little while to realise that AC/DC actually stood for Adam Collier/Daisy Collier.
