Midnight madness

I feel privileged that I have been asked by my sister-in-law Louise to do a guest Blog for the gorgeous

'Tiara Heaven' Blog site.

Louise and I did the Midnight Walk for the Weldmar Hospice last week. I wanted to do something this charity as they looked after my wonderful Nan before she died.

We arrived to find around a thousand women wearing blue t-shirts with Midnight Walk printed across their chests and pink fluffy halos that were frantically flashing multicoloured lights. An energetic woman attempted to warm up the crowds and then there was a brave performance from a scantily clad Bollywood dancer.

At midnight we marched together along the seafront and I felt the power of the solidarity of women fighting for a worthy cause. My husband has done the male version a couple of times but it never seems to be as popular. People outside the pubs stood outside and cheered. Cars beeped their horns in encouragement. The atmosphere was fantastic.

On the return journey like many others I removed my weighty luminous headgear. Perhaps 'Tiara Heaven' should make the headdresses next year as I was able to wear the beautiful tiara that I wore on my wedding day in comfort all day and night!

Thank you Louise for accompanying me on an amazing experience and thanks once again for making my wonderful tiara that I really enjoyed wearing!
