Today is Abbey and Paul's Wedding Day! Clare's parents are coming to stay for the night to look after the kids while we go to the reception at Buckden Towers in Cambrdgeshire.
A slightly chaotic morning (what's new about that!?),
- Clare to the hairdressers at 8am
- pick up jacket from the dry cleaners
- bits of food shopping
- car wash
- change Isobel's shoes - they were too small!
- pack clothes and bedding (we are staying in dorms)
- get the kids changed into smart clothes
- get ready and to the church for midday
- print map for route tomorrow!
A quick stop at home between the wedding and the reception for a cup of tea and to load up the car with clothes, food and the bike :-) I'm cycling back to Stortford tomorrow from Buckden (the long way!)
The party was fabulous, little formality, a constant flow of food and drink, speeches from more people than I can remember, lots of live music, dancing, chatting and drinking! Though I manage to restrain myself to a couple of pints somehow! Unfortunately I didn't have the same restraint for the curry! That might be interesting tomorrow!
As the evening progressed, the thought of sleeping in dorms became less appealing! So I booked into the George Hotel over the road from Buckden Towers and had a much better nights sleep than I otherwise would have!
The hotel room had a selection cycle route maps that allowed me to piece together a route to meet Tim in the morning as I can't find the map I printed!
