Wedding

The day of the big wedding so first of all, the big breakfast. After a relaxing time in the Japanese garden, time to get into fancy dress (see extra) and head off to Hertford Castle for the ceremony. Then on to the groom's garden for a party. And speeches. Jess & Alex. Painfully talented young people - y'know, first class degrees from the toppest universities, pilot's licence at 24, they cycled across continents, Alex ran the marathon this year - 2 hours 20something. I've no idea how I'm there. Consort or something.
Still there were some people I could yap to: John who made flying biplanes, quarter scale, David with his new Brompton, Mig the serial Rolling Stones gig attendee. All washed down with prosecco and cask ale!
And I even got a dance - in the middle of the house music, those familiar opening notes - Sweet Home Alabama! Mustard!
