BOB - Installment 3 (most probably last BOB installment)

Well even though it seems such a long time ago I wanted to write up the third and final Bob post.

Although it has already been almost two months since the event I often think about what a brilliant time was had.

I think Gairy has already written enough about it so i don't want to go on, but just to say another GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all those wonderful people who made it as special as it was.

Here are another load of pics that I think are worth seeing.

The dashing groom begrudgingly sporting his hand made, locally picked head garland.



Now, I didn't particularly want to post a photo of me - but this shot shows off the beautifully handmade dress that Rachel made for me.



I couldn't not include a picture of the best crackling I've ever tasted, now could I?



Here is a nice family shot of the Mannions.



This was the chorus of the speech/song that Anna and Briony got the whole party singing. It was hilarious. Even Gairy saw the funny side.



Paul was in charge of the music and he did a brilliant job. (I'm hoping someone sorted him out a chair at some point and that this shot isn't evidence of why his back was buggered the following day).



There were some big shapes being thrown until the early hours of the next day.



On the Sunday someone came up with the genius idea of using the barn for some wrestling.

Here are the two little'uns - no, not Alfie and Isla, but Briony and Arti.



Ben and Eddie were pretty evenly matched.



Here is a shot of Anna and Ben in a somewhat intimate hold.



Gairy and Matt also in a somewhat intimate hold.



We also had tug of war, this is a nice shot of Richard - winning I think?



All in all it was a great success and we're super duper happy!

Since then we have managed to get Sheepee 3 new lamb buddies, build them all a home and get to know them all. We've also started work on the terrace outside our big living room/kitchen and although it is very heavy work, it is coming along nicely.

We've also had a few visitors and had a lovely time identifying and picking mushrooms and cooking up a feast with them.

The weather seems to be turning, the leaves are beautifully muti-coloured and the temperature has started dropping. Bring on winter.
