Yesterday was action packed. After travelling into London for a client meeting, it was back home, in time to witness a remarkable spectacle.
Have you ever seen the Channel 4 series Big Fat Gypsy Weddings? It’s a close look at the traveller community, with a particular emphasis on weddings. They tend to be quite extravagant. Well, we live in a cul de sac with a row of houses on one side, a pond and green on the other, and a Catholic church at the end. This was the setting, yesterday, for a traveller community wedding that attracted quite a bit of attention, because it was being filmed by Channel 4. It was quite a spectacle, with the bride, a Barbara McFadyen arriving on the back of a truck, supporting a blinged up electronic ankle tag. I took some shots, and a short film.

That looks like a great wedding. Sorry to hear that you did not win the top prize but think some terrific new books out there.
