Rachel's Wedding

Saturday 22nd October
One useful function of blogging is that it provides the blogger with a useful record of date, times and circumstances.

The bride and groom were blessed with a beautiful day. There was sunshine and blue sky. It was a little chilly and the wind picked up on the odd occasion. All in all, not a bad day for late October in the UK.

The last wedding that we attended in Hinckley was still fresh in our minds. We set off at the same time as we did last time and arrived at St Peter's Catholic Church at much the same time as before. This gave us good period of time to walk up to a tea shop. It has the charm of a country tea shop, but the view outside is anything but. 

St Peter's is a beautiful, modern church and Father Frank is a lovely man.

It was, altogether, a special service and the bride was truly radiant.

From the church we made our way to Ullesthorpe Court Hotel and Golf Club. This is a very remote but great place for the photographs and the meals. All the food was excellent.

We were able to catch up with our relatives; Anne, Sid and George as well as with Adrian, Veronica and family.

The young people enjoyed the loud music and we left just after 10.00; getting home at about 11:00. This is about as much as we oldies can take.

Many thanks to Rachel and family and to Andy Clayton and family for their kind hospitality.
