The Mosedales are in the house. Well, actually, only one of them is as Elspeth has gone away with work for the week. But that's not a snappy title.

We're back from our honeymoon, and I think I speak for both of us when I say we had a wonderful time. I won't bore/titillate you with the details of everything we got up to, but I am sure there will be some photographs of our adventures and stuff cropping up here every now and again when we feel the need to blog. We'll probably also relive bits of our wedding day through the medium of blog, so you've got that to look forward to. Here's a quick rundown of the last couple of weeks:

Saturday May 7th: Hail in the morning, followed by a wedding ceremony and smiles thereafter. We had a top day.

Sunday: stayed overnight on sunday in a nice hotel on Rutland Water. Decided we were fools not to have discovered this lovely area of the country sooner, given it's proximity to home. Extolled virtues of www.laterooms.com through which we got the room half price.

Monday-Friday: The Swarkestone Pavilion, just south of Derby. Absolutely fantastic, and we're now converts to the Landmark Trust. A more suitable place to relax for the first few days after the wedding can't be imagined.

Thursday: Alton Towers. Spend the day trying to identify a manly way to scream, in pursuit of enjoyment on the rides. The best I manage is a throaty roar.

Friday-Monday: A weekend in York. Visited important tourist attractions such as the York brewery. Ate in musically themed restaurants: Cafe Concerto, El Piano, and Harkers (Hark the glad sound. Tenuous.)

Monday-Saturday: Augill Castle in Northwest Yorkshire. Very luxurious, we were the only guests for much of the week. Repeatedly struck by the beauty of that corner of England and vowed to return soon, to indulge in WALKS.

Saturday: Returned home. Ate fish and chips, somehow not indulged in while away.

Sunday: Elspeth leaves for a week in Toulouse with work.

Thursday: Tim blogs. Awaits Toulouse puns.
