It's all go round here

Typical! Six years in the Netherlands and all the weddings I was invited to were in the UK -- North Yorkshire, Sussex, London (x 2), the New Forest, and not forgetting the wonderful one in Norfolk. One month after I return to the UK and where's my next wedding? Antwerp. A great city, just three hours from Amsterdam on the train. Instead, I have to fly to Brussels -- but, luckily, from Southampton Airport, a mere 7 minutes by train from Winchester Station. The terminal is only 99 steps from the railway platform, which is just as well as I'm still hobbling -- which has also ruled out wearing heels for the wedding. I guess it will have to be slippers. The second leg of this particular wedding will be held in Cuba next year -- a very tempting prospect. And my toe might have healed by then.

PJ is on his first non-UK business trip since we returned, and is currently judging a lego contest somewhere in the Arctic Circle. Seriously! Well, maybe not judging the lego contest but lego is involved. He's hoping that the organizers will slip him some Imperial Star Destroyer lego to play with on the long, multi-leg journey home -- 2 1/2 hour flight to Oslo, overnight in Oslo, flight to Heathrow, and then the 55-mile drive home. If he can find the car in the long-stay car park at Heathrow. Laser-blue Golf? I bet there won't be many of those there.

Expect pictures on Sunday evening.
