I was nervous to become a focus of public attention when I walked with my daughter on the virgin road, but the wedding party was very relaxed. Many of my relatives got together after a long interval.
To my regret, however, my youngest daughter, who lives in the U.K. now, didn't join the party, because of the confusion of the immigration office of the U.K. To be precise, she was able to depart from the U.K., but it would take a long time to get the visa to re-enter the U.K. She was set to start her new career in the U.K. on Oct. 1st in a big hospital near Oxford. If she couldn't be back in the U.K. until that day, some problems might occur. The immigration office seems to be extraordinarily busy to handle lots of refugees from Ukraine. My daughter paid a priority fee to change her visa from a student's to a working visa within 5 days in July, but the procedure didn't finish even in September. I don't understand the visa system in the U.K., but my daughter told me, "Tier something doesn't work" ,,,or such a thing.
Anyway, I never thought that the present war in Ukraine had some influence on the likes of my family who live in a rural place in a small archipelago country in the far east.
The adorable kid in the center of the following picture is my first grandchild.
