A cold, windy and gloomy day outside today .... perfect for Maria to watch Netflix whilst I retouch the photographs from Jane and Mark's wedding yesterday at St Marys Church Fratton and The Bridge Tavern, Old Portsmouth 🙂
You can view Jane and Mark's wedding gallery (which is gradually being populated and should be completed by Tuesday) at https://pendragon.photography/jane-mark-mahnke/

Strangely, we were back in Sarisbury for the second Saturday in a row, again with other cars from the Locksheath Classic Car Club, but this time at the Sarisbury Show On The Green fun day.

Along with several other members of the Locksheath Classic Car Club and the South Hants Vehicle Preservation Society, we were invited to attend an open day today at Anchor - Meadow Court, who looked after us extremely well (free food, coffee, tea, beer, cider) 🙂

Many thanks to Jax and Martyn for choosing me to be their Wedding Photographer on Saturday 17th October :-)

It was challenging with the Covid-19 restrictions in place - because of the requirement to keep 2 metres distance from everyone in a small room at Fareham Register Office, I was only allowed to stand in the doorway (almost alongside Jax and Martyn) during the ceremony, so couldn't get the images that I wanted - and my mask kept steaming up both the camera viewfinder and my reading glasses :D but none of that took anything away from their lovely ceremony.

Day 3 of our short holiday in the Lake District (16th September 2020)

The AA-appointed mechanic seemed to have fixed the gearbox fault on our car, so we headed off into the mountains today (although after driving only 45 miles, the fault reappeared and the gearbox returned to limp mode).

Day 2 of our short holiday in the Lake District (15th September 2020)

Without a car to head off into the mountains, we walked (over 9 miles in 5 hours) around the mud flats on the peninsula and then through the local villages of Cark and Flookburgh today.
