15th July – Last night’s wedding was much as expected. The fizzy beer was Tetley Smooth. How can Yorkshire, who, along with Burton-upon-Trent can actually produce some adequate mass brewed beer, allow the export of this stuff?
I gave the dogs a pre-wedding walk, and decided that as I had plenty of time I would extend it slightly to include an ascent of Croft Hill. Chas was a tad impatient when I got back. I pointed out that it didn’t really matter if one was a bit late to a wedding “evening do”. Turned out we had been invited to the ceremony, which commenced in precisely 35 minutes time. Apparently, I had been told this repeatedly. Bugger. It seems my “van” holds the road well along winding country lanes, and Chas’s new satnav confirmed we gained 3 minutes on a 20 minute journey. Of course we had to find the overflow car park, and walk a bit of a way, but we sat at the back with 3 minutes to spare. “Told you we had plenty of time” I said. Chas said nowt, but if looks could kill….
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
