Alaric Summer of ’82 (by sarah)

Lionel, Roderick and Barbara have been turning out the old family 'junk' and they found a few photo's of Alaric as a small child!

They gave me this one - I took it with flash as well as that one shows the colours more truelly than the one with out!

Voting (by sarah)

Barbara gave me a lift up to vote - now I'd read the stuff that had been sent through but realised I had decided who I wasn't going to vote for ie all those nasty fascist parties that seem to be creeping out of the wood work but hadn't actually gotten around to deciding who I was going to vote for.

So I had to recall on the spot who has promised what and hope I got it round the right way and feel sad that no one actually represents what I want - there is no one I agree with entirely so have to go for close as without being scary - this does not strike as a partically good way of running things but never mind - at least I got to vote and used the right people died to give me.

I would also like to point out that going up in Mag (the sunshine yellow MG convertable) with Barbara felt I was risking life and limb as she doesn't wait for you to strap in ectera!

Arty Shots from the Wedding (by sarah)

I took some arty pics whilst at my cousins wedding!

I liked this white mirror and loved catching the reflected light and atmosphere in it!

I caught myself in the window of the car taking a photo which I thought was most apt!

This butterfly was on one of the wedding presants and well its a butterfly so I had to take a photo!

Jean pulled her guazy skirt over her head the effect was quiet erry which I think this ophoto conveys.

This picture is my favourite - it was a fluke but shows the light and movement and is somehow graceful and other wordly.

I really loved the way the disco lights highlighted Claires dress so took lots of photo's of the first dance!

More disco lights - the arc across the floor and the darkness beyound drew me to this image.

The little boy is looking at his balloon but the way he is highlighted by the lighting again just seemed to make it a fantastic portraite as far as I'm concerned!

Not sure these are any good but the roses changing colour was something I just wanted to try and catch.

The vibrancy of this picture drove me to keep it though you can't really see who is who.

This picture is almost perfect (the 99p shop bag sort of ruins the composition but I love it anyway) it's Jean at the top of Dave's stairs.

The Morning After (by sarah)

The morning after the wedding found us all bleary eyes - except Jean who was having a great time with my hat and eating her bear!

There then insued unhappyness on my part on finding out that we were supposed to be back before 4 to catch Lionel before he left for Bristol - I had to hurriedly cancel all the arrangements I'd made - people I was planning to see in the morning and afternoon which didn't greatly please me.

We then set out and it was hot and there was traffic and we had to stop at two lots of services on the way home for health's sake!

These are the flowers mum got - we almost took them home with us!

Anyway the journey basically took twice as long as normal meaning that even though we left with plenty of time we got back here about 20 minutes after Lionel had left - Al was stoical about it. Jean however was not and became very grumpy that there was no Lionel to play with!
