Dogwood Days

This dogwood has been in Dad's garden since the year 2000. It was presented to Mum and Dad by my sister on the occasion of her wedding in Kinsale, Ireland. I never knew about that until a few weeks ago.

I remember the day so well. With our two little boys taking the role of page boys, what were we thinking, booking a same day Ryan Air flight arriving just a couple of hours before the ceremony? It wasn't until that day, with the delay on the flight showing up on the board, that we realised that we had the potential of being responsible for creating a big hole in the proceedings.

Thankfully we just about made the ceremony on time and a wonderful day was had by all.

One doesn’t believe the Ryan Air anarchy until he/she doesn’t fall victim of it!

I resonate with your story, even though I like the way you have captured this recollection image.

i love that story although i am left wanting to know more details that i'm sure add to the thrill of whether you'll be there on time or not. i love dogwood, but it seems they're only found around here in the gardens of the rich and the richer (and could be famous, too!).
