Jamie and Louise's Wedding


I was down in Surrey at the weekend at my cousin Jamie's wedding (i.e. a different Jamie from this wedding) at Loseley Park.

The room where the ceremony was held.

Jamie's sister, Eleanor, being a bridesmaid.


We were all handed wee bottles of bubble mixture on the way out of the service so that we could blow picturesque bubbles in the photos. Since people at weddings more usually hand you a glass of champagne, Adrian and I nearly drank the bubble mixture, but realised in time...


Louise and Jamie in vintage car.

Auntie Janet with the Irish Wolfhound that belonged to the folk who owned the house. It was very affectionate. And very large.

String quartet
It was kind of muddy as there had been a lot of rain, and my heels kept sinking into the ground. Eventually I gave up and spent most of the day barefoot. Probably just as well I wasn't foaming at the mouth from drinking the bubble mixture as well...

There were lovely gardens, in a kind of "room" effect.

Eleanor with the flowergirls.


Heather and Adrian drinking Pimms on the lawn. With their shoes on and everything...


Jamie and the best man were beginning to panic at the thought of giving speeches (though they went very well).


Cake with Arsenal and Spurs bride and groom.

First dance.

Adrian took this to demonstrate my existence in front of the camera as well as behind it...

Full moon and old tree. There are more photos over on Flickr for really keen folk...

Voyage North

I survived the arduous passage across the swan-infested Clyde yesterday where Andrew was examining things carefully...


And eating dinner enthusiastically.

Levitation




Roped Morag in to do all the heavy levitation/underwater swimming this time... The underwater effect is courtesy of glassy bubbles by Nesster.

The Elgin Marbles

Apparently the President of Greece has recently renewed calls for Britain to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece. Clearly he is unaware of the many compelling arguments put forward by W.N. Herbert as to Why the Elgin Marbles should be returned to Elgin - available to read here (click and go to page 143 - it's a bit footery as I can't get it to give me a direct link...).
