A wonderful happy sunny day !!

Today was Georgina's First Holy Communion. She has been having lessons since September with several of her friends. The weather forecast has not been favourable all week , with the weather men predicting that there would be rain !

We were quietly dreading having a soggy celebration, but thankfully we have been so lucky and the weather has been absolutely glorious - our prayers were certainly answered.

She looked beautiful and we were so proud !!

She wore my bridal headress which made it all the more special and jewellery that she had as a Christening present from my sister when she was a baby.


The ceremony was really special , our Canon Eddie was brilliant as usual and all of the children had a part to play with readings, singing and prayers. It was perfect!

Georgina was also given some beautiful gifts from family and friends which she will treasure as well as the special memories of the day.

Today made me remember how lucky I am and thankful for everything !

What beautiful photos of your daughter. How nice for you to honour such an important event in one's life. I remember mine many years ago and the impact it had as my life went on.
