Earlier today I was walking past a wedding party out the front of the Bristol Registry office and I heard a youngish man who had returned home to England for his brothers wedding say to the bride to be, ‘welcome to our family , I have never had a sister and now I have one’. I turned towards a total stranger also walking past and she said ‘ what a beautiful thing to say’
It was a brief moment that filled me with joy and I just know I’ll remember it .
Thank you so much for reading, Bec. I’m so glad that in some way my writing helps you to feel closer to your husband’s family… are they in south London?

My brother and his husband are in Croydon. My in laws are west and north london. I love London in summer and you describe it deliciously.
God that’s really beautiful. How great that you were witness to that 🩷
