At the weekend, it was the big event – Alex and Aimee’s wedding. Bill and I took the train up the day before and Emma joined us on the Saturday. Here are a bunch of photos from everything but the wedding.
Strangely, we did actually see a real-life Robin Hood, giving a talk to some American journos on the mythic qualities of the legend at our hotel. The Robin Hood frenzy has to be seen to be believed – especially as there’s a new film coming out shortly…
I think they did the new art museum sign like this just to make lazy picture editors flip the image around in travel supplements. At least I hope they did. That striking Victorian church behind is now a pub – more pics later.
Here’s Alex and his dad, Frank, enjoying a few beers the night before the wedding. Apparently, Frank taught him everything he knows about statue impersonation. Get some grey body paint mate!
The Sunday after the wedding, we enjoyed the quietest possible tourist sites – until Badger hit the commentary button whose ‘annoying local DJs blather about nothing’ label must have fallen off. That plus the sunshine? Not hangover friendly.
This is more like it – a superb day for one of Anish Kapor’s stunning Sky Mirrors, right by the theatre.
Then off to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem – a pub that is set right into the castle rock, complete with a bar right inside a cave.
And here’s that church/pub from the inside.
