Cream teas please!

A huge thank you to Emma & Sarah who organised my hen weekend get-away...it was absolutely perfect and so wonderful to spend this time with my amazing friends. The english weather held out for us, and we were able to enjoy our Devonshire cream teas in the sunshine, the biggest concern being 'cream then jam or jam then cream?

 cream then jam

....

'but Sidmouth doesn't do Hen weekends!

Wine tasting

The Friday afternoon before the wedding, for those who have arrived and haven't been roped in to do jobs! We've organised with an amazing local cantina a wine tasting monte dei ragni where everything is still done as it was in the old country...the land is still ploughed by a magnificent horse!

The idea is for you to walk with one of our local friends, from your B&B up to the cantina through the vineyards,  and enjoy an hour or so enjoying one of the best Valpolicella Superiore in the area...

If we have enough interest we will do two trips, the first one being around 15.30 and the second at 16.30.

So if you fancy an hour or so, tasting amazing Amarone and Valpolicella wine please email either myself or Michael and we will put your name down.

Miss Barry

Sarah is the bridesmaid that's known me the longest...

and has been my travel buddy for over 15 years.

She knows me in a way that only a person from home can, and is just as proud as I am to be from Somerset, she has a knack of making sure my feet are firmly on the ground!

Too hot

 4 days of 36° is too much for us...the only way to keep cool seems to be eat ice cream and drink beer!!

This goes against everything I think we're supposed to eat a month before the big day....

Bursting

 The Vineyards are bursting with grapes in the Vapolicella, Michael and I drove up to the venue this weekend it's been amazing to see the change of season up at Costa...my only hope is the grapes will hang on a wee bit longer before they start the vendemmia, so the vineyards are bursting for you too...
If not we'll just have to enjoy the wine!

almost there...

I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, much to the relief of Michael and our families. All those small projects that seemed a good idea at the time are coming to an end...although I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my free time once the wedding is over...anyone need wedding help??

Bed for the night in Fumane

just a reminder...

if you've not yet booked your B&B in Fumane please let us know...

We know that some of you have had problems getting through....welcome to Italy! But please call us or email us with your dates and we can make the booking for you...it's really no problem.

A night in fair Verona?

Verona is an absolutely beautiful city and we would advise anyone who's not been before to try and squeeze a morning or afternoon if not more in Verona. It's a city to wander around, take a coffee, relax enjoy the sunshine see some sights if you wish, Juliets balcony, the Roman Arena...follow this with a relaxing aperitivo, Spritz Aperol being locals choice (it's the orange drink everyone will be holding)

If you are thinking of extending you stay with a night or two in Verona check out these websites for B&B accommodation options...

airbnb

TIP: Make sure that the hotel or B&B is in the centre, they can be quite cheeky sometimes.

Mr James Lloyd

James. School mate, best man, best mate. Friends since we were 11 years old and have done much together, had lots of fun! Never a dull moment...I'm sure he'll tell you if you ask! Just mention prank phone calls (its a green one...etc) burst footballs and fishing rods and you'll laugh for a week....!  

Good at Spanish too, test him!

FAVORITE JIMMY MOMENT

A teenage James being chased through Liverpool by a jealous French schoolboy with a stick, escaping and managing to be caught by him 3 years later....in Spain!  

James is married to Krista who we also love very much and we are very excited to see how Christopher has grown as we haven't seen him for ages!!  

The Weather

 'What's the weather going to be like?

Well, we can honestly say we have absolutely no idea...we can also say it's probably the one thing that Faye has been worrying about the most...and as life would have it...the one thing she has no control over! Much to Michaels amusement!

All we can do is give you the average...

so we all have to wish for sunny skies!!

Emma!

Mrs Emma K Fisher

I was lucky enough to have Em as my flat mate on my first day at Uni and live the following 3 years together, sticking, sewing, stressing and eating 'cowboy food' when things got really tough!

She makes me smile.

It's all getting very exciting and very close!!!

Hopefully you've all received your invites and the RSVP's are winging their way back to us.

Busy Michael!
