Dawn and Trevor's Wedding

I don't know how Dawn, Trevor and their families managed it, but the weather was spectacular, it was almost like that was included in the overall plan.
The church was the parish church of St. John the Baptist, in Harrietsham, Kent.




The picture below is the only photo I have of the inside of the church as we were requested not to photograph.

Once the bride finally put in an appearance and we proceded with the ceremony, the vows, the hymns... it was a very emotional service too, then we all gathered in front of the church for photos...

My first view of where the reception was to be... Leeds Castle

Mike...
















A few unusual guests...

Those Canadians seemed to be everywhere...

This is incomplete...more to follow...

Only in Brighton

I have always had a soft spot for Brighton, but I think its 20 something years since I was there. I worked the summer of 1976 in Eastbourne, which gave me time to get to know some of Brighton. But boy! Its changed... And my memories have distorted.
The seafront seemed similar, although I hadn't seen the burnt out pier...
I remembered more colour about the Brighton Pavilion, it seemed to have faded. But it was an overcast day.

Its only in Brighton, on an afternoon, that you might bump into Spiderman and Superman going for a wander and a smoke in the streets.







For some reason my dubious memory could remember driving up this road, towards the clock. Maybe less has changed?

Tilgate Park

While Mike is working his cotton socks off, I am walking mine off too. I spent a couple of days exploring Crawley, invading shops, drinking the odd pot of tea, but now I am bored with that and the weather is just so gorgeous I need something to do, that allows me back to where Mike is doing his course for 4pm.
So today I explored Tilgate Park, with my camera...

The above is a map of the park. I didn't see all of it, I originally just went to see the 'zoo', but it was well worth walking through the woods too. £3 for a place to park, and a £1 donation to the nature/zoo...
