《キャサリン ☆ 2nd 結婚記念日 @ children's hospice》

4 / 29 (月)

@Naomi House Children's Hospice, Hampshire

結婚記念日のこの日、
ウィリアムは、地元 Angleseyで "RAF"でのお仕事、
キャサリンは、ハンプシャーで、チャリティーのお仕事と
お二人別々に☆

それが出来るのも、安定した♥の関係だからこそ・・・ですね
(^_-)-☆

ちなみに、
週末ちゃんとカップルで、"Norfolk" で、プライベートの結婚記念をしたそうです♥
改装中の "Anmer Hall" かな～？？
(Traditionally, couples exchange cotton presents to mark their second wedding anniversary)

The charity has two specialist units:
Naomi House for children and Jacksplace for young adults.

Naomi House has 10 children’s bedrooms and five family bedrooms and offers a broad range of facilities including music therapy, computer art and play rooms and multi-sensory and hydrotherapy suites.

ヒールで、この中腰って・・・・相当キツイはず
子供達と話す時は、結構この中腰多いんですねえ～

↓到着後、《Sally Evans》（8才）ちゃんから、白の花束をもらった。
“These are lovely, they remind me of my wedding bouquet,” the Duchess said.

↓結構おっきいね。
無事スクスクお育ちです～♪

↓'Is it nice and warm in there?' She asked.
One of the children shouted: 'Do you want to come in?'
Kate laughed and replied: 'I'd love to come in'.

↓meeting singer/songwriter 《Ollie Wade》 who sang a song 'Free' as a tribute to his deceased brother

During the tea party, Kate watched a musical performance by Ollie Wade, who presented his own song Free, written in memory of his brother, Ben, who died in 2011.

He and his family received end of life care and bereavement support at Naomi House.
Ollie Wade’s song will be released at the start of Children’s Hospice Week to raise money for Naomi House.

↓joined about 12 children and their parents sitting round a table enjoying a tea party.

↓ When Kate was asked the sex of her baby she replied teasingly: 'It is either/or... We don't know'

Professor Khalid Aziz, chairman of trustees at Naomi House could not let the second wedding anniversary pass without comment or a present.
After the tea party with the children and their parents still sat at the large table he told Kate: 'It’s especially special that you came here today because today is a very special day two years ago to the day, you were in a slightly larger building then this one – probably not having quite as much fun.
'But you did it very well we were all totally enthralled.
'I just hope Prince William is taking you somewhere nice tonight.'

Kate blushed as she was given a wedding anniversary present by the children but admitted William wasn't treating her to a special day.
Blushing bright red she said: 'Well he's on shift, so....' And opened her arms expressively when asked if William was treating her to a special dinner.

He added: 'So anyway congratulations on your wedding anniversary and we thought we’d give you something not only to say thank you for being here but something to commemorate your anniversary because it’s on cotton and possibly something that you might be able to use in the nursery.'
He told those at the back of the room: 'In case you can’t see it it’s the hungry caterpillar and it’s been made by the children at Naomi House.'

↓enjoyed talking to children from a local primary school.

Then Kate met a line-up of volunteers for the charity including Dyl Gates, 84, from Church Crookham, who raises money for the hospice by holding coffee mornings.
She said: 'I make cakes and hold tea parties once a month. I've been doing it since my husband passed away ten years ago. I make all kinds of cakes with little fancy decorations on.'
She added of Kate: 'She said she's going to come to see me to learn how to make cakes.'
