On Friday Peter, myself and my parents spent the day at the beautiful Eastwell Manor, near Ashford in Kent, for the wedding of my lifelong friend, Jenni. Quite literally lifelong - our mums were friends and we were born just 5 weeks apart. The day was absolutely perfect - the weather was, thankfully, cooler than it has been recently, but the rain held off and it was still warm and sunny. (So sunny in fact that I caught the sun quite badly - it had never occured to me to take sunblock, I supposed I'd assumed it would be inside). The ceremony itself was held outside under a lovely gazebo (I very nearly blubbed but just about managed to contain myself, just as well really as once I start I can't stop!) and then there were drinks out on the terrace while all the photos were being taken.
We then had a delicious meal of onion tartlets followed by beef tornadoes and then Kentish strawberries and cream, before moving downstairs to the disco. Peter & I went for a little walk around the grounds and had a game of boules, then Peter wanted to inspect the golf course, before we headed back to the disco. I even managed to get Peter up on the dance floor!
Jenni & Lee, the wedding was beautiful, we had a fabulous time and are so happy for you both!
(And when we go to the next wedding in September, I will remember the sunscreen!)
