Photo Challenge – Friendship

This weeks challenge from Female2Female is a to post a picture of friendship.

Im often the one behind the camera and in fact am very camera shy.

The photo I picked is from my wedding, its Paul and me and our retinue just after the ceremony , the retinue was made up of friends and family and the funny thing is the ‘family’ are also friends and the ‘friends’ are also family, thats the only way I would have it.

Blog Challenge – Your Earliest Memory

Oh boy, I actually have very few early memories.

The one that I do remember is the day my mom locked herself out the house.

I must have been younger than 7 because I don’t think either of my brothers had been born yet.

I must have been older than 2 because I was sleeping in a bed.*

I was having my afternoon nap and the next thing I remember I was woken up by my mom knocking on my bedroom window.

She had locked herself in the garden (having a smoke Im sure) and couldn’t get back inside.

I remember her telling me to stand on the overturned dustbin and to reach for the door handle (she had closed the door when I fell asleep).

I remember climbing onto the plastic dustbin and the dustbin kept collapsing under me. It probably wouldnt have helped if it didn’t collapse, I was too short to reach the handle anyway!

*Edited to add: My mom confirmed that I was 2 at the time. Also she said that I didn’t manage to open the bedroom door and subsequently she was locked out until the maid arrived to let her in.
