Fiona and I have had a lovely weekend away in North Berwick at her cousin's wedding.The wedding was great - a traditional Scottish wedding with all the trimmings and the weather was incredible, especially considering how wet it was the day before and this morning.
One thing that was impressive was the cake. One of the groom's pal's wife made it as a present. It seems that there is quite a number of people who make really cool sugar figures for cakes and she was one of them. It seems the bride got a telling off for adjusting her hair colour without consulting the baker.
Being a wedding I had to do that suit thing.
Those that know me know I don't normally do suits or ties. Button shirts are also not that usual but that has been changing. Luckily (for me anyway) work does not require me to wear a shirt and tie so I tend to dress casual upping my game to business casual if I am meeting clients. So, a new suit was required as I wasn't prepared to go kilted.Dashing though I may be, I don't think its going to be a regular thing...
This morning also started out nice so we spent the morning walking around the harbour and earwigging on the children's science lecture at the bird centre. The guy doing the science demo (a baking soda volcano to point out the 2 volcanic plugs in the village) was absolutely brilliant.
But then it started to rain so we headed to the Museum of Flight. Last year when we were here for the air show Fiona never got a chance to see Concorde. The very first one is on permanent display here. I promised I would take her again (expecting it to be the air show) but she saw that coming and swerved. Since it was miserable by lunch time she agreed. We got absolutely soaked but I think she enjoyed it...
