Touching down after a mammoth 24 hour journey from KL via Qatar to London, it was an immense relief to be greeted by the welcoming party: Caroline's dad, sister and now-husband Chris. We arrived on June 4th for just under one month of catching up with friends and family, and most importantly Gill and Chris' wedding.
After 5 months of being on the road, we are not at all ashamed to admit that it was absolute bliss staying in one place for a few weeks, being able to do our washing (properly - i.e. clothes actually coming out clean!), and drinking water out of the tap. Above all, our kind friends and family who hosted us over the few weeks fed us up with proper home food and wine so that by the time it was due to leave again we felt ready to go.
The last couple of weeks of June brought the wedding preparations, including dress fittings, spa days etc. The big day itself on June 28 brought beautiful sunshine ( a wonderful contrast to the rain in previous days). The whole day was magical but our favourite part had to be the genuine Scottish piper that led the entire wedding party back to the reception after the ceremony at High Street Methodist Church. We will get some photos up here in due course.
