A totally tropical taste

On Saturday we turned the historic Oakham Castle into a tropical haven. Birds of paradise, heliconias, anthuriums, orchids and love -lies-bleeding brightened up the castle.

The arrangements were moved to the marquee at Exton Park in the trusty van.....




Meanwhile the bride and groom were transported in a fabulous carriage, The Hound and I are considering this as an everyday alternative to the Citroen Berlingo, and has usurped the Morris Minor Traveller as our new dream car.


The steel band got ready to play as the guests arrived.
