17th August, 2016....Welsh Weddings and Wonderful Weather!!

Phew.....we were so luck with the weather this week, when we visited the beautiful county of Powys, and the Shropshire borders, and the countryside was stunning!




We stayed in a quaint and very quiet place called Bishop's Castle...it was so quiet...and the hotel was lovely. It was about as rural as you can get in the UK I guess...no phone signals and not much TV either, but stunning English countryside...


...we do seem to find old buildings and cobbled streets wherever we go!





We did give this estate of 'eco-houses' a second look too....but they were rather out of our price range!!


The SteveHillman camera had been asked to shoot the wedding of a friend of his, at Mellington Hall, which was just across the border into Powys....really secluded and very gothic, and the weather was perfect....funniest sight of the day was the groomsmen in their kilts, playing football in the sunshine, with the barefooted bride taking penalties!!Lovely flowers courtesy of POSH from Barrow too, who was also at the wedding, and kept us very good company, along with Mr POSH!


The Hillmans look quite civilised when not in walking gear, don't they!! We did meet some lovely people, from all over the UK...

....and Frankie liked the look of the 'Cheesecake' wedding cake!

So congratulations to Paul and Helen!! We thought we'd have a little wander down to Furness Abbey this afternoon, after the long car journey.....


...and it was looking ' picture perfect' in the August sunshine...



...back to our scruffy walking gear! Finally feel like I am on holiday from my job...but back to it in a couple of weeks...if you know me, you know I love my job, so that's not a problem!! No let up for the SteveHillman camera though...still got five more weddings to shoot at this tail end of August!!
