there is an island in the sun...


I think the pictures say it all really.
Idyllic.
If it looks as though there was no-one else there, that's because that's how it felt.
Lush, tropical flowers, water so blue and so clear, balmy warm temperatures, and a beach that stretched forever. 

And then there was my sister's wedding...





...which was more than lovely.
Happy bride, happy groom, happy flower girls, happy happy day.
I'm sorry about the photos.
I'm sure there are many taken by other guests which will do the bride and groom proud.
All I can say is that it is hard to juggle cameras and flower girls and bridesmaid duties at the best of times.
The stilts made it even harder. If you look carefully you can see them in the top montage. I'm afraid it was too far down to bend and take a photo of the actual height!
I thought I was doing OK with the wearing part until the official photographer had the bright idea that a 'jump' on the beach in them would be good.
Not so good...
Thank goodness everything else went swimmingly!
And yes, that frangipani in the bouquets looked and smelt every bit as beautiful as it looks here.

And now I'm looking forward to catching up with all your goings on while I've been away.
Except these photos have taken so long to 'do' that bedtime will have to come first!
And hello to some new followers too! Welcome along..
