I have been suffering from the most excruiciating headaches over the last four days, and this morning was just delibatating.
I made an apointment with a local GP this afternoon.
How one's life can change in a matter of seconds. The words MRI scan, Neurosurgeon and brain haemoraging were mentioned. My mind was racing and on my way to the MRI scan it rained. I parked a fair way away from the hospital and I had to walk quite a distance in the rain.
I always have an umbrella in my boot (for any rained out weddings) but decided that I would relish each and every raindrop. Arms out, head up, I walked at a slow pace just be glad that I could indeed appreciate the rain.
It works out I have a severe and acute inflamation in my sinuses, but I find the false alarm a god-send, as the important things in life are most definately the small things.
We often take life too seriously, that we forget to enjoy it, so here is to enjoying every joyful minute of it!
Glad that I have learnt a lesson.
I had planned to post a picture that I took a while back of Oliver playing and "relishing" the rain, but I can not find it so this will have to do.
Just quick post before I head out to a wedding. Pictures taken by Ursula on holday.
Stunning!
(03.14.09 @ 04:29 PM)It really does make me proud and excited seeing my pictures published.
And, no less, we made the third edition of Konfetti. Well done Alisdair & Gemma. (featured on pgs 44-47)
I must also confess I just love the cover image taken by Christine Mentjies.
Well Done Andrea (not that I am suprised) - Awsome pic
(03.10.09 @ 11:41 AM)Introducing the wedding of Sarah and Martin . . .
Sarah's mum, Suzi, booked me and mentioned Sarah's wedding would be a fuss-free and relaxed affair - and that it was.
Martin and Sarah, who both reside in the UK, found a true undiscovered little gem when they selected Thandeka Lodge as their venue. Just the perfect bush setting for their beautiful ceremony.
There were so many little moments that made me smile and people who made me laugh, but, to mention each individual one would require a story of its own, rendering this post as long as a novel.
So let's just leave it as an awesome wedding with oodles of character.
There are a few more images than usual, but, I realise I am dealing with some seriously deprived readers, who have been tormented by the Carlyles' holiday pics and haven
't seen a wedding post in a little over two weeks...
Sarah and Martin were married in the middle of the bushveld and the venue staff had literally mowed a pathway through the grassland to create the aisle and a patch where the vows were to be exchanged.
The "church" was surrounded by savannah and the guests were seated on hay bales.

Another obsession of mine is flare, and a little OTT on the flare side, but, I love this pic.
To me, it really does "tell the story...as it was".
Eccentric priest, scorcher of a day and exchanging vows in the middle of the African Bush.
Thank you Sarah & Martin for being so understanding, and thank you Belinda and Jonathan for helping out.
Just beautiful! As always...You should always post this many pics - I love seeing the story of the day unfold! the flare pic is my favourite too, and the clouds in the last few are just gorgeous!
(03.05.09 @ 06:08 PM)Oh wow, what a gorgeous setting. Love the little touch with the grass being tied back.
(03.05.09 @ 07:10 PM)Yay, yay, yay! Thank you Andrea, we are absolutely delighted with the photos...can't wait for the rest.
(03.08.09 @ 02:24 PM)Wow, these are really gorgeous ! Well done, you managed to capture the tangible love between martin and sarah.. really stunning!
(03.09.09 @ 08:32 AM)WOW! Sarah & Martin these photo's really does capture the love between you and the pics are amazing!
