We attended the wedding of Robin’s niece, and what a lovely day it was. It was a garden wedding, with guests from as far away as Ireland from the groom’s side of the family. When the ceremony was concluded, and the photos taken, we sat outside in the sunshine with drinks and nibbles, till it was time to go into the function centre for dinner. Speeches were made, and the cake was cut.

Dinner was delicious – we had to select our main from a choice of three when we received the invitation way back prior to Christmas. And we were wondering what we had ordered all these months later. Luckily the catering staff had a list and brought out the correct meal to each guest – we had both ordered beef, by the way. More speeches and then the dancing began. We left a little early as Robin’s knee didn't feel strong enough to be up and dancing, not like the old days when we could dance til midnight!
The following day all the guests were invited back to the venue for a BBQ lunch. Must say that the stars of the show were a whole lot of crayfish which Jan, the brides father, had caught, cooked and frozen over the last few months especially for the big day.

The BBQ was cranked up and steak, chicken kebabs, sausages and meat patties were sizzling away. With salads and bread rolls, and a helping or two of that crayfish, it was a lunch fit for royalty.
Many thanks to Kaye and Jan for their hospitality, and very best wishes to the young couple Hanah and David. It was a very pleasant afternoon and we got to chat with visitors from far and wide.
