I was at a loose end on Friday, so I popped down to Manor Barn, tied up their booked photographer and pretended to be a friend filling in.  Strange thing is….they bought it.  How else would I have got the chance to spend a day with Peta (pronounced Pete-uh) and Philip (yes, Philip, not Phil).   Peta figured Murphy’s Law would catch up with her with the run of good weather coming to an end hours before the wedding.  Luckily for her (and Philip) it was just a misplaced moment of anxiety and the weather (much to the shagrin of 100′s of thousands of tourists trying to get around or into Europe) stayed fine and dry.  Manor Barn was its usual inviting self with its warm sunshine and open courtyard lending a hand in setting the scene for a wonderful Hampshire wedding reception.  Of course it can’t go unmentioned that behind the oven and in front of house was the magnificent Sean and Sue Denny from Dennys Catering.  Simply wonderful food from an exceptional Hampshire wedding caterer.  I know that Peta and Philip were due to head out to Morocco yesterday.  I’m guessing Ehjjsdkljsdfjjdjsdf (that volcano thingy) put a downer on that.  Fingers crossed they can get something wonderful as an alternative!  Good luck guys…

There might be clasping – or giants

At first I thought Philip was just distracted…then I realised he was obliging the pap

MIL gets in first

its a complete aside…but as I’m trying to think of something witty, ‘Club Tropicana’ by Wham comes on my iTunes…God’s way of telling me more Tequila?

That’s just daff(odil)

Stranded but unlikely to be rescued by the Navy

Tequila makes everyone smile

He’s clasping the Tequila — at least I thought it was the Tequlia

..wonders where the Tequila has gone

I’m guessing I’ve solved the mystery

Checking his trouser pockets I can now reveal…I was wrong

Its never who you thought it was…just like a good episode of Scooby Doo
