"The" wedding

The gathering
The bride arrives
 The new Mr & Mrs Stone
 Only a few posed photos by request of the couple
 The reception, starting with the speeches
The wonderful food
 Beginning to relax...?
The cutting of the cake
The evening session
 (Rachel) No I am not going to do the first dance, I'm not..., I'm not...

Home from NZ from Easter until "the" Wedding

Mum & Dad, both children, a fiancé and a Nana shared Easter Sunday lunch.

Gotcha (pied)

This woodpecker has been busy for a week collecting peanuts from one of my feeders and 'drilling' them into this fence post. We've seen him twice a day but getting a picture has been problematic - it seemed that s/he flew off at the slightest movement from behind the window.

Robin Stag Do

The six of us gathered in Capel Curig to climb Snowdon
This was the arrival evening view of the mountain
The actual climb day was at least 'fine', if not sunny
The climb was strenuous in places and the stops were quite frequent
But we got to the top (along with several hundred others) and the view was - nil.
Some cheats arrived by train.
Still we were all very happy to stand on the summit
Having climbed over 700m of the total height
Perversely the next day the visibility was perfect
