Sarah & Chris's wedding photos

 Here are some photos of Sarah and Chris's wedding - don't we all look smart!

Sarah and Chris's wedding

After a foggy, misty moisty week the 12th November was dry and mild. The wedding was at Hengrave Hall near Bury St Edmunds. It was an enchanting setting for a perfect wedding. The chapel had a turret and crenallations. It just about fitted us all in. The page boys looked adorable. Sarah looked beautiful. Her dress was lovely from the front and the back and the veil had little glittery bits in it.
Then on to the reception. We congregated in a posh courtyard and when we got a bit cold we could go into the lovely sitting rooms while the photos were being taken. The place was like the setting for Cluedo but fortunately without the murder.
The food was exceptional and the setting had hosted Elizabeth I. Nicky was of the opinion that Good Queen Bess would have sat where she was as she would be near the bar.

The speeches were excellent and the first dance was lovely. Although Sarah and Chris did have a look at the end as if they hadn't realised how long that song went on for. Erin and Nicky were the dancing queens and rocked the night away whilst most of the clan found a comfy sitting room to chat.
All absolutely lovely.

Remember, remember the fifth of November

Yesterday was fireworks/Guy Fawkes day. I haven't been to public display of fireworks since the kids were old enough to go on their own. Being freezing or more likely soaked while watching and listening to fireworks was never really my idea of fun.
However, yesterday we had friends over for dinner and I thought I would buy some indoor fireworks. We have had these before and they were really a bit rubbish. And the first ones, called Snakes, were a bit rubbish. They looked like turds! But it was most amusing.
The discovery of the evening though was finding that our friend, Peter, who is a rather conservative sort who works for KPMG, turns out to be a pyromaniac! He was totally reviving the spirit of our who considered the instructions "Don't go back to the firework if it fails to ignite" as a challenge to their manliness.
Peter was right in there reigniting the failed ones while previous ones were still burning. To be honest, his degree was in biochemsitry and as we know most chemists are a little insane.
We saved the best to last. it was a sort of Roman candle. Here are some pics.

Maybe I will get some more for when the family are here next weekend!
