Wedding in the Sussex countryside

Hi everyone

Sorry it's been ages since I've blogged! I've been super busy in London and can't believe it's been three years since I arrived (on 1 May). Time flies when you're having fun.

May is the best month in the UK cause we have two publish holidays! Yesterday was the first one so we had a lovely long weekend - and the sun actually came out!

Mart and I went down to Sussex (the county directly south of London) for one of Mart's school friends' wedding. It was a beautiful day and the wedding was in the most beautiful grounds! Very green and typically English. The wedding was a hoot with lots of champagne, eating and dancing - quite similar to an Aussie wedding.

We stayed down in Sussex for the whole weekend and I got to see the village that Mart grew up in - Wisborough Green. It's a cute little village - very lush and green. It's got a couple of small shops, a post office and 4 pubs. I saw the house that Mart grew up in - it was built in the 1400s!

We also went to Arundell, an old historical market town, nearby to check out the castle which was built in 1067. It was a very relaxing weekend and so nice to be out in the country. It was especially lovely to see where Mart used to live - I didn't realise he was such a country bumkin!

Hope you enjoy the pics...

Love Kel xx

The wedding was lovely... but expensive! £23,000 we later found out. Ouch!
