Brutal

We went to a wedding today.
It was nice.

SIL decided to marry D, her long term partner and best friend. They share a home, a dog, two families and are clearly very much in love. 

On Tuesday she goes to hospital for surgery. 

Mouth cancer. 

Brutal. 


The ceremony was at the register office at Shrewsbury Shirehall, being the headquarters of the county council. In the most monumentally ugly building imaginable.

Brutal. 

The bride looked dazzling in a white dress, her man looked very smart and clearly enjoyed the occasion.

There were smiles, hugs, cheers. And tears.

A simple, moving and meaningful ceremony. He's made an honest woman of her.

God bless them both... 


19 children and two teachers shot dead in Texas. 

27 Mass shootings in USA, this year alone. 

Brutal. 

 I don't have words.......
