Weekend in UK - July 15th 2006

I've just realised how much time has passed since I updated the blog.....apologies!! We've been very busy these past few weeks, the highlight being our trip (albeit fleeting) to the UK, to attend Jeremy and Aimee's wedding. And what a lovely occasion it was.

We left on the 7pm flight out of DC on Friday evening, arriving in London bright and early on Saturday morning. After a brief stopover to visit John's folks, we went to our B&B in Henley, to get ready for the afternoon's festivities. The weather was perfect for a wedding, particularly a wedding held at the Upper Thames Rowing Club, right on the Thames River!


The ceremony was beautiful, held in the gorgeous St Nicholas Church. Everyone then meandered down to the river, where the Reception was kicking off - the sun was shining, the Pimms was flowing, boats were meandering down river, it was just perfect for the bride and groom.

People were kicking off their shoes and sitting on the banks of the river, cooling off in the early evening sunshine. The hours flew by as we caught up with everyone, chatted, and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

At the end of the evening, boats were lit up and it became a parade of lights, a magical way to end a truly memorable day.

On Sunday, we left our lovely little B&B and headed over to John's folks for Sunday dinner - nice to catch up with the family - it was another hot day, dazzling sunshine - John had a great time playing cricket with the kids!

We headed back to the US on Tuesday morning, again another memorable weekend back in the UK.
