We spent the day helping set up for our niece's wedding at a beautiful but quirky barn.

We started with the bunting, which might have been straightforward but for the absence of something to tie it to or pin; faced with a brick wall we managed with hammer and nails.

It was great to be mucking in with family in a variety of tasks, the bride working harder than the rest of us. Reading Left to Right: the bridesmaid, (her sister, B), R (the bride) and bride"s mother (A) taken during a pause in the proceedings.

We finally got back to the house at 7.30 so it's an evening in front of the TV and an early night.
