Hi, many thanks all who tendered their bestest wishes, we had a brilliant weekend!


Caught this candid snap of mockers dreaming of big things to come....

It poured down from Wednesday to Friday, so we were both resigned to the whole day being a bit of a washout, but Saturday dawned with glorious sunshine which stayed with us all weekend. Hurrah!


It was not without event, the breakdown of electricity and water provision at the critical time of 12pm resulted in Bumbalina and mockney's other half breaking into a hotel down the road and taking baths, before tidying up and fleeing away into the afternoon. The rest of us resorted to the swimming pool.


Order was fortunately restored at 2.30pm, giving the chancer boys an opportunity to clean themselves up (by which time a few proseccos had been shared to dull the nerves).


Bumbalina crossed the bridge at 4pm, bringing more than the odd tear to my eye, she looked quite honestly like a dream.


The ceremony itself caused much hilarity through the presiding official's inability to pronounce bumba's real name. She will henceforth be known as Roger.


Many speeches and entertainment ensued, and we had a live jazz band to fill the gaps. Food was exquisite, including 25 different antipastos, three courses and dessert. Highlights included scrambled eggs (yes really!) and gnocchi with truffle.


As all weddings should be, the wedding was completed delightfully by a police VAT raid on Monday morning.


Bloody marvellous.


Some candid snaps can be found at this flickr location. We're still waiting for the professional ones, and we'll append as soon as we get them! For some reason I can't sort the photos, so the wedding snaps themselves are on pages 2 & 3. Mockers, please do pool as soon as you get yours online?


Once more many thanks for your best wishes, and I hope you all enjoy the photos!

A top description of events there huguenot. I'll just add that it was all terrific, especially the Italian sash on the civil presario, the scrambled egg, the weather, the setting. Well everything.


By the way that's not a calm dreamy look, that's a rictus grin of terror as I was about to kick off the speeches, but the jazz band decided to milk the ending of the tune for a further 2 minutes and I ended up looking like a spare part/idiot next to them.


I've a couple of snaps of the general environs here but as I'm ploughing through a near half a thousand photos chronologically, the wedding ones will go up tonight and onto the pool.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
