As the title and picture suggest, I had an interesting run in with a roasted tomato at this weekend's wedding. Having secured my main course I walked the short distance from the marquee to the Bride's parent's home and kitchen and settled to enjoy the food in relative peace. The rack of lamb was delicious and the accompanying vegetables superb, until I cut into the second tomato that immediately exploded in true cartoon style, peppering my white shirt and tie with seeds from collar to waist! Thankfully I was able to instantly wipe my tie that seems to have survived unmarked but the white shirt was another matter. As most of you know I carry multiple shirts to allow a change through the long working day and Saturday was no exception and thankfully the clean shirt was still in the car, so no real panic. Lesson to be learned - leave the tomatoes next time!
As it's a Bank Holiday in the UK this weekend we are guaranteed to have the worst weather possible and this weekend has not disappointed! Thankfully Saturday was clear and sunny in Essex for the entire day although the wind was strong throughout and several hats disappeared over the hedge and veils and dresses had minds of their own. This wedding was such an outdoor event that there was no plan B - all walked to and from the Church to the Marquee and drinks reception on the lawn and all formal pictures were shot in the back garden. The day would have been ruined and very different with wet weather!
As I returned home from Essex at about 130am on Sunday morning, I could feel the first drops of rain arrive and it has been pretty wet ever since, as I write this on Monday morning . . . The weather was fine for the wedding and pictures and that's what's really important!
