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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
