Wedding Thoughts

What a fun weekend.  The people that Anne and Del invited to the wedding, are so friendly and welcoming, much the same as the bride and groom.  The venue was wonderful, so unusual, with beautiful views of the sea.  We had a wonderful meal, soup followed by bangers and mash, and wedding cake.  There was dancing and Mom had a dance with all of her grandsons and Dallyn, and Del's grandmother and mother and Grace.  The weather cooperated and we had some sunshine, a few showers, but not continuous rain.  

The contingent from Oxford, in a car, T&G, Will and I arrived at Venton House first, and so had the pick of the rooms.  The drive was mostly on the motorway, which made it easier for Geoff, and we had a half an hour wait to go over the bridge, which we later found out was very short in comparison to others.  Grace and Dallyn were the next to reach Venton.  They took the train, bus, ferry and taxi to VH. Shortly after Mom, Jim, the Longs, Sam and Nancy arrived and then finally Lisa, Richard and Tim.  BA and Greg were also here for wedding, staying at a different house, and they came over too.   We ordered in Pizza for supper and the Alexander's drove in the pitch black to Torpoint, to Vino's picked it up.  We were all very grateful to them.

Yesterday we had our new Irish family, Del's parents, sister, granny, various aunts and uncles, Steph and Rem, a couple of friends of Anne and Del over for supper to get to know each other a little better.  The house was full, there were about 30 of us, but we all fit and had a wonderful time visiting.

Today's feels a little sad, as most have left to continue their journey.  But Anne is staying here, as Del has to go back to work tomorrow, Will, G&T, L&W and I are staying until Wednesday, and then the group breaks up even more.
