Wedding pictures & back to reality


There are about 100 or so photos from the wedding at: www.justphotography.com.au/calderbank for those of you that are interested. Carly has very kindly uploaded these in a format so that they are easy to burn on to disc and be printed out.

Hope you like them. More soon.

As I mentioned previously we had an incredible couple of weeks. Megan and I keep remembering amusing stories that cause us to have a little giggle when neither is expecting it.....Yes Albert, everybody was leaving, but no, no-one farted! Ladies don't necessarily get to go through a door first, and when Monza's playing pool ' back off Borat!' Interestingly whilst up in Noosa, Nik, Kullervo and I managed to create a version of texas hold'em using only 5 dice (thanks to poker shark Kullervo for allowing Nik and I to clean him out on day 1, but then rob us off our shirts on day 2!). It's amazing what 3 guys with 5 dice can get up to when it's raining. Anyone interested in the rights to the game please apply here; we're thinking about syndicating the game to Sky sports.

It was a strange and long first week back at work, feeeling kind of empty and flat; oh, and tired too. It's so strange thinking that so many of my friends and family were mostly out here a couple of weeks ago celebrating, and now everyone is gone and getting on with their lives. Anyhow, it won't be too long before i'm back in the UK for my best man's (Henry) wedding at the end of June, and I can't wait to catch up with as many of you as I can. To the UK and back again in 6 days...jetlag will be fun.

Thanks to all of you again.

An English Austrayian Hungarian Wedding


Port Douglas will have to wait. Wow - done it, married to Mrs C! What an amazing day (not a bogun in sight, though there may have been one or two CUBs!), in fact what an amazing couple of weeks we've had. Thank you so much to all of you who made it out and also all of you who were unable to come to Oz. We have had the most incredible two weeks of our lives, and that's all down to you.

We're still floating high on the memories and returning to work was made all the easier for these amazing memories. In fact I invite you all to let me know what yours were. Whether it be the appearance of 'Jane' at the bridal shower, an anecdote about Sean Connery and Petula Clark going 'downtown', a night out in Newquay, hearing how deafness can cause colour-blindness, a favourite uncle Albert comment (believe me there were many, and I expect there won't be too many more visitors to Sydney as a result), 'Crikey', seeing the bride play pool in her wedding dress at 2am, seeing Batman, or even just watching the groom sweat it out at the altar - quite literally!

There will be more very soon, but I just wanted to express our thanks and send our love and best wishes to you all wherever you now are. Life goes on, and I've got some billing to do!
