Holiday
Hello,
Well, since I last wrote I've been away on my holiday to France - photos here - where it was pretty much universally rainy and grey. That being said, it was still a nice relaxing week off work, so I didn't really mind too much. Now I'm back, we're going to get on with booking another holiday for the end of August - probably Kefalonia or Crete for a week.
Touring Car events are coming along. Myself and two friends are off to Donington to camp for the weekend next weekend - hopefully the weather will improve a little over the next week. I've got hold of a £8 Tesco round barbeque, which will be good for almost disposable cooking goodness. Should be fun whatever happens - and hopefully I'll be doing it all again a fortnight later at Snetterton, with a few other people.
The big hassle at the moment is weddings. We were hoping to get married in the church local to where Ruth lived, however they have been very difficult to pin down, as they were expecting some building work to be taking place at some ill-defined point in future time. They have now decided that this is likely to be over the month we wish to get married, so it's looking like we need a plan B. We did consider doing the whole thing abroad, but the cost becomes prohibitive if you want to bring any reasonable number of guests out with you. So the current plan is to try to do it in our local parish church, with the reception at a nearby country hotel. That could well be feasible - I'll keep you up to date!
