We had a stop-over in Hampshire on our way to our wedding in Wallingford, which is rather roundabout, but we needed to get some washing done and re-organise our bags. Then we headed off to Oxfordshire and the picturesque town of Wallingford. Julie’s childhood friend Jackie had her daughter Hanna marrying and found that we were going to be in the area at the time and issued us with invitations. We were very honoured to be invited, but very happy to be experiencing a traditional village wedding.
Hanna and Adam were married in the (3rd generation) family church in the tiny village of Berrick Salome and the reception was held in an enormous marquee on the Village Green. Jackie and Arthur and the family made us very welcome and we were blown away with the hospitality we received, including a family BBQ on the following day. The event was almost a disaster in that an enormous storm tracked through on the previous night and almost washed the marquee away, but although the ground was soggy, the day was brilliant. Our sincere thanks to Jackie and Arthur and their family for making us so welcome. It was a wonderful couple of days.
