Ar*e!Wedding was,...er... "different", but fantastic, with Gemma having organised everything, and making all the various decorations etc.
And in a wonderful venue - a former minor "stately home" near Stroud, Gloucestershire (Yes, for our former Colony population, the place next door to where the sauce comes from !), with canapes and drinks on the lawn, and followed by an excellent dinner, with live music later, from a really good band.
We'd booked a taxi for 22.30 hrs, in order to get back to our equally splendid country manor hotel, but I believe the "festivities" were planned to continue until the very wee hours, with Gemma's friends etc.
Weather was atrocious on the drive down on Saturday, definitely IMC, like driving through cloud, but on the day (Sunday), the sun came out, blue skies and the odd fluffy white cloud and very warm, late into the evening.
The only downside, for me, was the lack of disabled facilities at both locations, meaning lots of walking and coping with stairs / steps, with some uneven surfaces, so I was basically b*lloxed by the time I surfaced this morning (Monday), and more so after the drive home.
But it's amazing what a bottle of rather good Argentinian red wine can do to relax the aches and pains - oh, look, there's still half a bottle left ....
drink !!
