Wedding at Orchardleigh, near Bath

A lovely Summers day, and a return trip (the 2nd this weekend!) down the Warminster road this time stopping at Orchardleigh.

A lovely drinks reception on the balcony at the rear, armed with a large can of wasp spray to fend of a pesky swarm that had decided to invade the Orchardleigh estate at the last minute. A splendid mix of popular classics for such a refined setting and lovely view.

Then a quick break – always great here for a spot of snooker. Keeps me very happy indeed!

We don’t often play for meals at Orchardleigh as there isn’t always the space, but today there was just the perfect performing area in the library end of the room. We had plenty of requests to keep us busy, from Snow Patrol to Clapton, and a rapturous round of applause greeted our semi-improvised 15 minute Beatles medley!
