Cabin & Cabinette's wedding - Part 1

Why have a first dance when you can have a first 'dodge'. This definitely goes into the top 3 weddings I've been to. Top marks to Cabin and Cabinette for the dodgems.
Beautiful weather, lovely location (Penrith / Long Marton, Lake District) and insane people as per the videos and pictures...

1. Here we have the groom getting 'ready to rumble'

Until his mother-in-law jumps into the passenger seat...

2. Some 'dodgem rage' from Pie here. Admittedly he was being provoked by the Beast..




3. And finally my favourite video, showcasing the driving talents of mattandjules...


Yeah, I know, you probably had to be there, but watching no. 3 cheers me up no end!

Pictures from Belfast

3 pictures from my last visit to Belfast at the start of May:

1. Me canoeing - I'm meant to be steering here, but I'm doing a pretty bad job of it... Note the attractive riverbank foliage and, um shopping trolley...

2. And a shot of the other occupants of the canoe...
3. This wasn't taken in the canoe, but in Hazlebank Park. Do you think we're warned to keep out because of the dangerous wildlife?

1. If I had a £ for every bluebell in this picture

...But alas, it's illegal to pick bluebells and sell them under the Wildlife & CountrysideAct 1981.
Gosh. What would we do without bluebells? At least I can now include "The Wildlife & Countryside Act" amongst the various labels attached to my blogs.

2. Continuing to tick off things done for the wedding. All the bookings for the honeymoon have now been completed. In the 2 weeks immediately following the wedding, we'll have stayed in 3 hotels, a B&B and a holiday cottage.

3. The question is what music to play for the evening do? Tunes befitting the lifting of 'goblets of rock' may well be required. For comedy value, I wonder if there are any tunes than lend themselves to lifting 'Goblets of Fraggle Rock'. Apparently if you watch it now, it's not as good as you remembered it!
