Cath & Karen's wedding

Yesterday I photographed Cath and Karen's wedding. The location was beautiful, and thankfully the weather was (mostly) kind to us at all the right times and even a massive thunder and lightening storm did not dampen the day.  The pressure is now on to upload, backup and create a slideshow of the images that hopefully they will approve of !?!

A 'grown up' weekend in Padstow

Since the girls were born (2002 and 2004), Simon and I have enjoyed 2 weekends away together - without them.  We had visited New York (2002) and then enjoyed a long weekend ski-ing in switzerland (2009).  For many years we have been wanting to go to Rick Steins restaurant and so booking 6 months ago, and the children safely with our good friends, we set off for the long 4.5 hour drive to Cornwall.

We met up with the 'The Allens', both celebrating their birthdays, although ate at Ricks Seafood restaurant on Samme's actual birthday.  The weather was fantastic, the food excellent and cycling the camel trail from Padstow to Wadebridge and onto the vineyard was certainly a day to remember.  We must get away more often.

Paris

It has been too long since I have seen my dad and his wife Pam.  Pam is currently working in Lille and so Paris was a great destination to 'rendezvous' for a long weekend!!  During our stay, we enjoyed a day chilling around the hotel and a spot of shopping (except for the fact that the whole shopping centre stank of the smelliest french cheese), a day sightseeing and a day in Eurodisney.
