Свадьба

 

The vital part of the wedding was the tying of hands or something. Not sure exactly what that was all about but Chris, the grooms son did it with skill and much humour - apt for someone who works as a comedian.  

As we arrived we were greeted by someone whom I first thought was an ICE man but I was assured he was merely an over-dressed and equipped photographer. The only thing i don't think he had was a taser. I on the other hand had plastic fantastic toy camera - and that seemed fine enough

back home but not organised


Back home after a less than excellent trip home in an autobus on the top deck that could pass as a hot sauna. Nevertheless, the whole trip was a success. I managed to drag myself round Edinburgh, saw some great [and less than great art], enjoyed some fine cafes and an excellent and enjoyable weeding with a Russian flavour. 

We stayed in a lovely apartment as well in the fashionable end of Stockbridge don't you know.

I have a film awaiting development so you may see something soonish.

Florence

 


Florence showing how to do a manual in her back garden. Flo is the daughter of Jon Norfolk who is head honcho of British Cycling 'fast bikes going round in circles division' . I may have got his title wrong but you get the idea.

I once sat and tried to ride a BMX bike in my hometown of Bath. It ended badly I recall.

Hub Less Cameron


 

The delightful Cameron has done his time at the Hub cafe / bespoke bikes and gone his own way. We wish him all the very best, thanks for all the help and hope we will see you around soon.

Al Fresco


 

No idea who Al is, but I rather enjoyed the company of these peeps as we sat outside next to the sea just down there [pointing a little south of here]. No midges either

It's not my favoured place to eat usually if I'm honest but I must admit I did enjoy this occasion. The Hostesses , the lovely Rupa and Ashoka were organising at the time.

forgive me if I go a bit quiet as the tour de france  and the Giro d'Italia women are happening at present.

car

 

There we are another holiday snap from somewhere we were when we were on holiday. Probably, but I can't really be sure if we were what I actually call being "on holiday" at this point.

Seems like a dark old day though. It is on film I can ttell you that much.
