Tu es absolument éblouissante
And so Hannah and Alex exchanged rings, made no mention of obeying anybody whomsoever, signed the register and looked very, very happy as they emerged into the sunshine for the photo session.

The Twelfth
Lots of change in eight years
The drive was a trip down memory lane as I came up past places that I recognised. I can remember trying to get past the Carrickdale Inn the night that Ulster won at Croke Park (it was that long ago) thousands of jubilant supporters beeping horns and just generally getting in the way as they partied all night.
You know you have crossed the border because the road signs change and everything goes from metric to imperial, kilometres to miles. Up the A1 past Banbridge to the Sprucefield roundabout. Marks and Spencer ! And there is a Sainsbury’s there as well now. Buying computer stuff at PC World, it all comes back to me now.
A wallet full of roubles
Back in Dieppe
On to Dieppe which Florian did not know at all and we parked up at the château. You had to pay to visit the château and as neither of us had any cash we ended up having to walk around it on the way down as well as the way up.
Creil Wolf !
Along the cliffs
We continued on a bit and then went for a walk along the cliff tops. The pathway kept us pretty much away from the actual edge was a bit disappointing until we managed to find a place where we could walk along the edge and that was scary.
Eu, where shall we go ?
At last, inside St Lawrence’s Collegial Church
Well, it was nowhere near as sunny as it was supposed to have been this morning as we drove down towards Abbeville.
We reached Eu just before 1100 and I finally managed to get to visit the cathedral properly. We did our walk of the town and this time we walked the entire park. It wasn’t even warm and grey, just cold and grey. Miserable or what.
I did manage to retake some of my photos so that I could add some more bits and pieces about William the Bastard.
A new format
A new style for the site
I have been working on my Dead People site for some time trying to get things changed into a format that looks a little more modern.
This week I decided to do the same here; mainly because I need to test how to change the address using this database system and I would rather bugger up this site than the other one.
