The wedding reception

In catchup mode for a moment. The wedding reception was held on Saturday evening at the Duke of Cumberland, a charming English pub restaurant at Henley, about 5 mins from Nikki and Boyd's house. They had a marquee set up in the grounds and a band had taken over the area normally used as the restaurant. Nikki wore her long wedding dress and everyone thinks it was a success. I've posted a picture on Facebook because for some weird reason I can't get photos happening here. I am pleased to report that we did not disgrace ourselves and a good time was had by all. It finished at about 3am, however, Warwick and I departed just before midnight and were well and truly tucked up by then. The band was really good and apparently have supported some major acts recently. The best man, Ed gave a magnificent speech and Boyd was also in fine form. Ed is a school friend of Boyd and works as a film producer and office temp. His partner Matilda is an actor and paralegal. Who knows when we will see more of them? Big personalities and big talent. The next day Boyd and Nikki had a couple of Argentinian friends come over to their house and set up an asado. It's a barbecue that involves building a fire then putting the coals under the meat, which cooks slowly and stays moist and tasty. They had a whole lamb plus other pieces of beef and chicken. I did my motherly duty with salads. It was a very convivial day all round.
