Brocket Hall
Sunday 11th May 2014
Brocket Hall was the venue for yesterday's wedding. I have been there several times in the past but it still has the ability to impress as you pass through the gate and catch sight of the big house standing imperiously above the valley and the lake below. Sadly, the weather wasn't particularly kind, with a gale-force wind pushing heavy showers across the gloomy sky. But the bride and groom did brave the elements for a short while and we took the car down to the bridge for photographs where they were lucky enough to enjoy a brief period of sunshine. They wisely decided to have the rest of the photographs taken inside, so I was dismissed a little earlier than expected and I gratefully scuttled off home. Unfortunately, I didn't leave soon enough as I was engulfed in a monsoon on the road to Harpenden. But that doesn't matter too much as I'll soon have the car cleaned and dried.
There are many wonderful venues in the area but I do think Brocket Hall is one of the best.
