Congratulations to Emily and Stuart – Wedding Reception at Compton Dundon.<\/p>\n
Emily and Stuart were married in a sunnier (much sunnier as it turned out) clime, and chose to have a wedding celebration \/ reception for all of their family and friends at the Meadway Hall in this lovely little town in Somerset.<\/p>\n
It was a late-evening event, and the South West of England was still suffering from the 4 inches of snow that had landed several days earlier. Violinist Rebecca was the first to brave the snow, travelling from Hertfordshire. I had already gone outside and checked the car hadn’t completely seized under 7 consecutive nights of temperatures below -8. The Ardeton Quartet have never missed a gig yet, and we weren’t about to start now. With 3 hours to do the 90 minute journey, we drove along an almost deserted M5, now reduced to 2 lanes by the lingering snow, and out onto the country roads around Street and Glastonbury. A completely frozen approach road left us tip-toeing our way to the hall itself, but we arrived in good time!<\/p>\n
A great evening, the quartet were feature-entertainment on the hall’s stage, and Emily had requested a number of tangos from the quartet, including the version of classic Police hit ‘Roxanne’ as featured in Moulin Rouge.<\/p>\n
A great evening, and some very appreciative guests.<\/p>\n
Then it was just a gently slow crawl home in the -4 temperatures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
