Well the Brits do the formal occasions well. Unlike normal British weather the whole weekend was bathed in sunshine. great organization by cousin Anne and husband Nigel. Dinner with all family and friends on Friday night at the hotel in central London. Next day off to the ceremony in double decker London bus. Grooms party looking great in morning suits. Church packed 200 or so. Catholic mass moved along well. Tom & Francesca stunning well supported by Matt and Gloria as best man and bridesmaid respectively – not forgetting young Tamara their 2 year old daughter. Great party at the hotel afterward with plenty of dancing.
Tuesday journeyed to March to visit Les the youngest and last of the four Bridgeford brothers. Took us to Mepal to view the gravestone of his great aunt Franny who died in childbirth around 1840 aged 21. Les has done a lot of research on the family history and would seem there is a great cluster of Bridgeford graves in an old cemetery in March. His grandfather must have moved to London where my grandfather used to drive London horse buses. All very interesting. Next day off to Madrid via Paris on the train and the challenge of moving a bike box throu an unfriendly rail system.
