Very happy days

It’s been very busy in the village with 2 weddings this month. On Saturday Dominic and Mel the eldest daughter of our friends Paul (who featured heavily in last week’s blog) and Gillian got married. She looked absolutely stunning (and the bridegroom scrubbed quite well too)! It was very much a local affair with both Eddy and Roger providing their beloved classic cars as the transport and many of the villages turned out to watch - it was a lovely occasion. Later on we went to the evening reception held in a marquee at their home. Unfortunately we missed the highlight of the day – Paul’s speech as father of the bride. Apparently it had quite an agricultural theme and I think it is best left there!

Lucy our daughter came up from Exeter for the weekend with a friend and it was lovely to see her. They didn’t do very much but were content just to laze in the garden and play with the dogs who were so happy to see her.

We had a another return visit to our bed and breakfast home from Mike and Jane this weekend and they bought their friend Lyn with them. I packed up a lunch for them and they set off to Nutscale for the day. The weather was beautiful and in the evening they sat out in the gardens and had a picnic – very relaxing and they had a great time. It is clear that Lyn has also fallen in love with Exmoor and wants to come back soon.
