Half Term Break

Had a break from the build and went back to London for friend's wedding. It was about time the two tied the knot - at the tender age of fifty they have finally come to terms with commitment. The wedding was at a charming old Church in Friern Barnet -the recpetion at Monken Hadley - near to the site of the Battle of Barnet - let's hope this theme doesn't rub off on our newly wed friends!! Food was amazing - caterers from Oxford who are friends of the groom - flowers very beautiful. The bride's bouquet consisted of Australian sturt desert peas and sprigs of bottle brush to refelct her Antpiodean roots. But the breathtaking moment was taken by the arrival of the cake which nearly eclipsed the beauty of the bride. So taken were the guests by the superb orchid clustered cake of Fransiska Hooson that many were compelled to ask for her details. It not only looked wonderful - it was delicious. There was a live band to finish - this occasion nearly made a fine comparison to french fetes - it ended at four am but didn't beat the french record for us of a fortieth that finished at 6 in the morning.
