A lovely wedding and the weather was fine. It was a delight to photograph and really enjoyable. Here are a few images, the full viewing gallery is available on my main web site.

A very wet wedding at Llandaff Cathedral
Today I assisted my friend Jen who was photographing the wedding of Harry and Liz at Llandaff Cathedral. The weather was very wet but fortunately the rain stopped for the group photographs outside the cathedral. It was a lovely wedding with the reception at the Museum in Cathays Park. I’m not going to post any images of the wedding but here is one of the interior of Llandaff Cathedral showing Jacob Epstein’s aluminium figure of Christ in Majesty suspended above the nave on a concrete arch designed by George Pace.
Pencoed Classic Car Show
David, Hannah and I went to the South Wales Classic Car Club’s annual show at Pencoed College this afternoon, as usual it was very well attended with an excellent range of old and not so old classic cars. Nice to see so many models that I once owned there, including MGC roadster, Van den Plas Princess, Jaguar XJ6 Series III, A40 Farina, Austin 1100. The weather was rather miserable today but there still seemed to be an excellent turn out at the show.
Another wedding booking received this weekend for a wedding later this year. 🙂
A very cold Tuesday
Welsh class again this morning, continuing to work on the current assessments, firing questions at each other and making notes of the answers. No rain today which makes a welcome change but the weather has become much colder with quite a frost last night.
A new release of the blog software today, quite a few changes to options and plugins, I’ve completed the upgrade and it seems to be working as planned.
The problems with email on my webhost appear to have been resolved, they’ve been undertaking a server upgrade and for several days recently email access has been dreadful. Apparently no emails sent to me have been lost but they have been taking a significant time to arrive, the backlog has now been cleared so fingers crossed!
I’ve also upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2007 on my notebook computer, a tortuous upgrade that probably needs a complete uninstall and reinstall which may sort out the problems. In typical Norton / Symantec style the uninstallation fails, I’ve raised a support query but as my last one went unanswered I’m not holding my breath. I have two months left with my current subscription so the jury’s still out on whether I’ll continue using the product or revert to my previous security products.
A very wet Thursday
I’ve been catching up with the folk podcast run by Ken Nicol (Steeleye Span) and Phil Widdows, I’m quite new to listening to podcasts (the term comes from an amalgamation of i-pod and broadcasts although you don’t need an i-pod), the folk podcast is produced monthly and is in essence a ‘radio’ programme accessible on the web, you can listen to it in Windows Media Player (or any other media player) or copy it to a personal MP3 player. You can access individual programmes directly from the folk podcast web site or install a free RSS Podcast Client (rather like a blog aggregator) which will keep you up to date with selected podcasts. I downloaded the free Juice software which seems to work very well.
The heavy rain and high winds have continued through the day and we also had a brief power cut.
I managed to complete the upgrade process for BT Total Broadband today by telephone, having failed to make it happen on-line on the BT website, both times I tried on their web site I received a confirmation page that stated the upgrade had been accepted but that was where the upgrade process ended! Fingers crossed that everything will be working next week.
Mark and Laura’s Wedding
We had the pleasure today of photographing Mark and Laura’s wedding at the Manor House Hotel, Penarth. It was a lovely ceremony with great guests. We were even lucky with the weather as it started to pour with rain just as we finished the group shots.
A quiet Tuesday
I visited the local Tesco with the intention of filling the car up with petrol but the gigantic queue made me decide against it 🙁
I went into Caerphilly, the car park at Castle Court was very busy but luckily I found a space on the first attempt. I did a little more shopping, it was much busier than yesterday.
I filled the car up with petrol at Morristons, no queue 🙂
Had a late lunch at my least favourite place – no prizes for guessing. The image below is taken with my Fuji F11 point and shoot compact, so easy to use compared to my professional cameras.
Called in to see my mum, she hasn’t been very well since the weekend and she still looks quite under the weather, so far she’s refusing to have Christmas lunch with anyone and wants to spend Christmas on her own for the first time ever – parents!!
VAT Return to complete this evening – one of the joys of being self employed!
