Post wedding reflections

Well, my sister's wedding has come and gone in a flash of confetti, speeches and far too much food. It was a very nice day indeed, the service was excellent and the reception was great because you (or at least me, as bride's brother) could wander around and actually know about 70% of the people there, which made a change.

Unfortunately, due to some silly terrorist people (I think it was Dan who called them that, and me who suggested that a very good punishment for them would be to get them all in a big crowded room and get everyone to say 'silly' and point. I also pointed out, incidentally, that an interesting solution to the Israeli - Hezbola would take the form of a nice cup of tea and a chat. Which is exactly why I should never consider politics as a career) as I say, due to the terrorist people and the various flight cancellations, Clare and Andy's honeymoon has yet to start, or perhaps is being spent initially in various Heathrow hotels. Those of you who pray, please do so, that they'd get their holiday soon...I think they both desperately need to unwind after the craziness of wedding preparation, before heading back to their jobs!

So, this week I plan to at some stage do a walk from Farnham to Guildford half in preparation for our Scotland trip in September and half because I love to walk. But this afternoon a few of us are heading to London since it is Dan's 21st birthday and, amongst other things which fate may throw in our path, we are going on the London Eye.
