Every now and then, the pelicans come and enjoy the sunshine close to the walkway in St James Park.

Today I was lucky enough to have my camera on me and even luckier to still to find someone to take a photo for me.

Last night we met up with the happy couple and some friends for their engagement party.

Mom and Ruth came to visit on their way up to Scotland. It was so great to see them!

I think I pretty much shopped Ruth out though… (Mom you can NEVER outshop!)
