...'cos life's exciting over here in blighty:

Taken in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds on the occasion of a wonderful picnic with my mother and stepfather and Shannon. The occasion was only marred by turning up in the car park of Dover's Hill to find that an elderly couple had just returned to their car to find the window smashed and their digital camera gone. Some of the aura of idyllic English rural life was shattered with their windows, but I do keep telling Shannon that it's not all like 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' here. Unlike Christian and Chloe's simply fabulous wedding we attended the previous weekend, and I mean fabulous literally here - it was almost too dreamily perfect to believe, as attested to by the picture below of us, or perhaps better by the picture Shannon used when she blogged about our time here.

Oh, and whilst I'm blogging backwards in time let me tell you that the Swiss Alps in summer are stunning.. Prior to the aforementioned wedding a small group of us went with Christian to his home country to celebrate and consummate his transition to manhood (enterrer la vie de garçon). I'm afraid I can say no more on what the consummation entailed, but I can tell you that the backdrop was picture-book; having only seen the alps cloaked in winter white this lush green wonderland was breathtaking.

So to be fair, withdrawing the sentiment with which I started this entry, the trip so far has been a surprising array of visual wonder to remind me that splendour lives on near my point of origin too.
