We were at my cousin's daughter's wedding on Saturday at this venue. The ceremony was conducted in the tiny Island Church which is lit by candlelight alone. The bride and groom (ex Somerset) both live in Australia now and are doctors. It would have been interesting to call out 'is there a doctor in the house?' as there were in fact SEVENTEEN in attendance! The majority of the guests stayed overnight, us included, and then after a hearty breakfast we wandered slowly on to Bradford on Avon for our lovely lunch.
The weekend was rounded off nicely with me suddenly sneezing and ending up with one of the worst colds I've had for years, aching limbs and red eyes. Not a pretty sight, so I've temporarily 'taken to my bed' with a hottie and a book which I've managed to read in between snoozes! I knew it would get me in the end. I've been staving it off for a couple of weeks!
However, it was great to get home, check my emails and find that I had won Lucy Bloom's Pink and Green Giveaway. Thank you so much Lucy, it was a lovely surprise!
Have a good week, everyone. I'll be back with a vengeance as soon as I'm fit and able!

Hello Sue
Sorry that you have succumbed to one of the many bugs that are going around this winter...get well v soon.
The wedding must have been a wonderful event in this setting. I went to Orchardleigh many years ago with my mother to a huge house and contents auction. The house and estate were being sold in their entirety..it was a wonderful day and so many treasures to see. Fabulous place.
Now back to bed with you and stop blogging!!!
