Rudyard, Kate and Geraint

Congratulations Kate and Geraint!

What else could we play for Kate and Geraint's first dance on the shore of Rudyard lake but the beautiful waltz Midnight on the Water. The day had been very hot but by the evening a cool breeze had arrived so that the dancing was energetic enough during the Strip the Willow to provide the answer to that age-old question about a Scotsman and his kilt.

Heaton House Farm, Lynsey and Robert

Congratulations Lynsey and Bob.

It's been a while since we've played at Heaton House Farm and it seems to have grown in the time we've been away but it still has my favourite tree for a wedding photo.

I'm a bit cake connoisseur but this was the first time I've seen a helter skelter of profiteroles for a wedding cake. We're far too well-behaved to help ourselves, but it was tempting!

Thanks to Chris from Elvis Fontenot and the Sugar Bees (great band name) for depping on drums. Talking of band names I also liked the card announcing the evening's entertainment with 'The Moody Food' which sounds like a band from the sixties. Perhaps we should change the name to The Moody Food Experience.
