Travelling Light

One day we will travel light.

By this I mean going somewhere without half a dozen suitcases and food bags in tow, and without having to return to the house at least once after we have set off.

Headed for the wedding on Friday last in this manner, although I shouldn't complain because:

1. We arrived without incident.
2. A splendid time was had by all.
3. None of the guests attacked any other guests.
4. Nannies looked after the children in the evening (even though the children did escape from the nannies at one point) whilst the adults ate and drank wine.
5. We managed to squeeze in a sauna.
6. Although I managed to wrench off the whole door knocker during one of our return trips to the house, it's now firmly fixed back on.

The newlyweds had two children and have been together for years. Apparently these late weddings are not all that unusual; the bride's cousin had done the same thing a couple of years ago and spoke at length of the virtues of doing it all the wrong way round. He almost had me convinced, although a wedding must be stressful enough with two children, especially if they escape from the nanny. And travelling can never be light.
