The marriage of Simon and Beccy
   |       |        | |
Today was fun. We had to be at Simon and Beccy's wedding for . . . I think it was 13:30 when the ceremony began properly. So, travelling from Lancaster, we naturally left at about 6:30am . . . or maybe it was earlier than that. Hmmm. Not sure. Either way, our first challenge was getting around the inclined corner at the end of Windsor Avenue. It had snowed overnight and our car isn't really designed for going up-hill through snow. It took a few minutes but I kept the car in first gear, just using the clutch and we got round eventually. And I think that was the biggest challenge we faced that day. Driving through Shap was slow as we were down to pretty much one lane (and even that lane was snow covered except for two channels ploughed out by the tyres of other vehicles) and I seem to recall there were similar conditions around Lockerbie. But hey . . . it just meant travelling at 50mph instead of 70/80mph. No harm. We got to Glasgow with plenty of time spare. The rest of the day might possibly speak for itself through the medium of the pictures shown above and the many (thousands?!) of other pictures taken.
