Wedding Reception v2.0

Wedding reception #2 took place this past Sunday and it was lovely. People came from all over the world to see us . Considering the weather they've had this summer in the UK , we were very lucky to have a nice sunny afternoon.

Here's the River Stour where the party took place.

There was a big tent beside the river where we had dinner.

This is what it looked like inside. Recognize those table runners? It was mostly dark by the time we were in the tent. I'm glad I took a photo earlier in the day.

And here's the cake. What a great evening it was. Don't ask me to recall the names of all the guests! We'll be flying back on Monday after a visit with Nick's sister & a few more days with family. It will be nice to have a break after our break, haha.

UK Visitors

Greetings from England! Nick and I are finally in the UK for our second wedding reception. The party's tomorrow then we're off for a short little train trip.

My coffee monkey, Fisher, on a boat cruise up the Thames.
We arrived on Wednesday afternoon, very tired and happy to find our hotel. We spent Thursday, my birthday, seeing the sites in London with my friend Jenny who's come over for the big event.

Green Park
We walked all over the city and met Nick's parents for dinner and a show. It was a great day!

The fabric department at Liberty of London
I got a chance to stop in at one of my favorite London shops too. Liberty is gorgeous and has the most beautiful fabrics.

Here's a little taste of what I'm bringing home from Liberty.

The Rovers Tye in Colchester
We got a chance to see the location for the reception this morning & afterward had lunch at a pub we used to frequent when we lived over here. It was nice to be back in our old neighborhood.
Couldn't blog without mentioning my latest monkey. This one was a birthday present from Nick's mum. He's a pencil case and is sooo cute!

Bye for now. I'll post some reception photos in a few days. Have a great weekend.
