Its getting chilly!
Sunday 18th January 2015
After a very nice lunch in St Albans today we took a stroll around the city centre to blow away the cobwebs. As my fingers slowly turned to ice and all feeling disappeared from my toes, it seems winter has finally arrived. Whilst walking around the Cathedral, my mind went back to the weddings I attended there last year and the bitter cold reminded me why I shy away from winter weddings. Sitting in warm sunshine, gazing over the Abbey Orchard, awaiting the appearance of the bride and groom, is wonderful. It is, however, most unappealing to be shivering in a frozen car, during the bleak winter months.
Equally unappealing is the thought of crawling under a car brandishing a grease gun in these temperatures; but it has to be done. I have a list of maintenance jobs as long as your arm and the first wedding is only twelve weeks away. There is a great temptation to put things off until the last minute, rather like my daughter's approach to filing her tax return, but I must wrap up warm and get on with it.
