Out West

So we went to Wales for Martin's wedding to Viva-Mari; lots of people played music and we stayed on a marvellous organic farm in a yurt.

I really should end this post there,which sums it all up nicely, but here at least are a few pictures:
Martin is an ex-Durham physicist who would appreciate my comments about Prof Wolfendale earlier. The weather was very good for Wales:
We partied into the night...
... and then headed for the yurt:-
 As you can see, it was canvas-covered rather than traditional carpets and stuff (much more sensible in damp Wales):
Come the morning it looked quite good:

The yurt was proper civilised, with a cooker (which we couldn't work out how to light and were afraid of burning down the yurt with - hence the camping Gaz), beds and matresses.  It was luxury for the four of us - it could easily have served for 6 or 7. 
We hung around for the next day or so in the Welsh hills and enjoyed the views...
That night we had another bonfire (which we all enjoyed: it felt wild and exciting, although it doesn't really look it here...)
And then we left. 
On the way home, we saw this (hopefully a good harbinger for Martin and Vivi-Mari...):-
