And people came from miles around

And so it came to pass that an invitation dropped thru the letterbox, and it did decree that Mam and Dad Mk2 would be due to attend the Garden Palace in the Company of the Queenie.

And in time, the day did arrive.  And that the dress had been bought, and the shoes (twice) and the tiara bunnet.  and Dad did go and get a shirt but he decided he liked an other one better.

And so they decanted into the car and did park up at ma work in order for me to be taking the official photos.  So i did.

And then they did drive to Glasgow and did get stuck in traffic and Dad Mk 2 did say 'i bloody told you we should go east kilbride' and mam did say 'shut your bleedin cakehole'. And so the rest of the journey was carried in silence.

And then it was, that they did arrive in edinburgh; but the gates were not yet opened; and so the cafe down the road with a public toilet was used to release the tension.


And then it was that the gates did open and all 7998 other folk all trouped in.  And the bands played and the tea and sandwiches was served, and the Queenie came out, and did say hello to people and then herself went for a cuppa.

And that was it.

Another highlight being; mam and dad mk 2 did call in to Tooli's flat for to Say hello and drop off a wee box which had come for her.

And now, after a cheeky wee indian in thr Marahani they are resting their wearie
Legs.  Cause it is exhausting standing waiting on Queenie.
