Back to the real world

We met L and G again this morning, in Monmouth, for breakfast, and the return to me of a pair of reading glasses that I managed to leave behind last night. R and I then went for a walk through … Continued

We met the newlyweds for lunch today, and had another enjoyable debriefing session, before heading off to Raglan Castle. I quite like a ruined castle, though they are a bit samey, and I suspect that they may all have been … Continued

As the weather was fairly uninspiring this morning, R and I thought that we might as well run an errand, so we filled the car with the plants and trees that were used to decorate the wedding venue, and took … Continued

The after-party

This morning about twenty of us gathered for breakfast (cooked by the Junior Chapter of the bridal party) and then we thrashed through the process of clearing up, dismantling the decorations, and organising the removal of people, props, and leftover … Continued

The Wedding

by JDO | posted in: Family life | 0

May these vows and this marriage be blessed. May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah. May this marriage offer fruit and shade like the date palm. May this marriage be full of laughter, [and] every day … Continued

by JDO | posted in: Family life | 0

Today was pretty full-on, with all the bridal party working hard to get the barn ready for tomorrow. By early evening it was looking pretty good, with the ceremony area set up and all the wedding breakfast tables decorated; there’s … Continued

R and I spent the morning playing Luggage Tetris with both cars, and finally succeeded in filling every available square centimetre of space that wasn’t required for a driver, with clothes/equipment/supplies for The Wedding. Then, realising that we’d neglected to … Continued

This is an immature female Blue-tailed Damselfly. The books tell you that there are five female colourways in this species, and that they start out either green (typica), lilac (violacea), or coral pink (rufescens); but this little female was green … Continued
