[KingoftheCocktails in reply to SecondLife]

It was in a room overlooking the River Trent which lent a nice ambiance to the ceremony

[SecondLife in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

If the weather is nice that River is nice where you are

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to SecondLife]

I take Badger down to Stoke Bardolph by the river most days

[SecondLife in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

Many years ago a nice Sunday out for us would be to take our dog and drive to Newark and then we would all wander along the waterside, sadly no dog now, not allowed where we live and we now wander along the seafront most days

[Hidden]
