1. I became a British citizen today!

2. Although my in-laws didn't come up...they just returned from Senegal/Gambia, MIL has a bad cold, plus with the bad weather & the flooding -- just not good timing...but they sent me the loveliest flowers in lieu of their presence.
3. Two great friends locally turned out to celebrate with me.
4. We drank and ate traditional British food (meat pies, toad in the hole, lamb, warm puddings) at an old Victorian pub in Leeds.
