Current Weather at Strickley

Shame about the rain


As you will have seen if you check out the weather at Strickley, today has been particularly wet. Steady horizontal rain all day. Which is a pity, because after waiting over thirty years Henry's sister picked today to get married.Despite the wet and gloomy conditions outside (and we didn't hang about between church/car/hotel) it was a day filled with brightness and joy. The church was packed with family and friends (from 3 months to I hesitate to say how old), and we celebrated the marriage of Christine Ruth Wilkinson (nee Robinson) to Frederick Frank Kingsley-Chase.

I apologise for the quickly snapped photo, but I'm a fair weather photographer! This is Christine and Fred and the grandchildren - who all played a part, either as bridesmaids, ring bearers or ushers.

Hi Kathleen & Henry: great to see you and the family there. You left before the buffet came on!
Any news from the happy couple yet? They stayed overnight, as we did. After breakfast, Fred still wasn't saying where they were going. Judith's guess was Scotland, mine was a flight to somewhere a bit sunnier than Strickley, by your account. Christine was itching to find out.
