Happy tales and all that.

For those of you who know me well or following my occasional updates of Facebook you will be aware that I recently got married! Or rather I should say had the party. I’ve been married since March and finally got round to having the reception last weekend in the sleepy hamlet of Castle Ashby. It was a super day with much dancing and drinking. A big thank you to all who came and we missed those who could not make. I will post some photos.

As an aside Ana (my new wife, tis about time I revealed her name:) and I have been busy working on the garden of our East London flat. We have been able to grow enough lettuce to supply all of our neighbours for almost 2 months! At the moment we are awaiting the ripening of our tomatoes, potatoes and beans. We have several different herbs growing. Our basil has produced enough leaves for two 500g jars of pesto (yummy) and we also have rosemary, sage, sorrel, lavender, oregano, thyme and mint (useful for the Pims we had the other day.)

My parents have flown in from Australia, its been great to see them after more than a year. We are planning a few trips away, a long weekend in Cambridgeshire should be super. I’m keen on visiting the house of Oliver Cromwell as well as messing about in Cambridge.

Anyway hope you are enjoying the summer (or winter if you are in Australia).

Cheers

David
