A typical journalist of today, hiding truths .

Also, I loved the photo, perfect to show the blending of seasons.

@Katherine – congrats on a long-planned event actually happening! It’s wonderful when the pieces actually do come together like they are supposed to.

@Elisabeth – since I stopped eating dairy I definitely miss buttercream frosting really high-end cupcakes… (The elmo one was not particularly high end, so I was less tempted)

We thought Covid would be long gone by then of course. But one after another this summer the family got Covid, was quite ill, but recovered. It was touch and go until about 4th August but finally we decided we were all well enough for what would be a very long day in what turned out to be pretty hot weather. All my plans to rent a private parking space, stay at a hotel overnight afterwards, one daughter and her boyfriend come on the train from where they now live (not a thing in early 2021!) and meet us at the stadium, us having driven over 2.5 hours first thing that morning, all came together perfectly – we arrived within 5 minutes of each other. We had a wonderful day, saw many great performances and experienced a magical atmosphere. Who knows how many more Commonwealth Games there will be in our lifetimes, or even if there are many, not within 2.5 hours of home! It was so worth all the planning and getting organised early for the best tickets and making the effort.

It’s nice to have something that has been planned for so long meet (or exceed!) expectations.

I am also sometimes revived by a cupcake…
