Your Photo of the Week

Fantastic shot Kev! :) I hope you have settled in now and the move went smoothly. Our new completion date for our sale is the 29th, but I'm definitely not holding my breath!!
Cheers Tim. I hope that you finally get sorted, it was a nightmare to the last minute here to be honest, but all over now thankfully. How's the weeding planning, or is that done?

This selling and buying process has definitely aged me by at least 10 more years! Wedding planning is pretty much done now all being well. We had our rehearsal at church last night and I've just finished writing my speech. So all being well we are ready to go! :)

Yep, you and me both, it really is the most stressful thing, far worse than buying your first place, and ours was worse this time than the last, when we moved in on New Years Eve! Good luck with the speech, I barely made one at ours, probably for the best. It was 28 years ago though...
 
Ooh, how exciting!! A wedding!!!! Tim, all the best to you and your new bride!!

Weddings and births are the most exciting and wonderful parts of our lives. I wish you all the best. It is a difficult and delightful voyage and takes a lot of work. Nothing has as much reward. I hope that you and your bride can enjoy all that marriage offers. Cheers!!!

36/52: Last day at the resort I was staying in, I took 3 different exposures of the sunset intending to do an HDR merge but I think the middle exposure was good enough once I edited the raw.

Thank you very much Sandy! It was certainly a very exciting day and I think our guests enjoyed themselves too. We probably enjoyed ourselves a little too much since we set off on our honeymoon a day later than planned! :)
 
Now maybe I missed it, but when is THE date?
We got married on the 18th Jeff. Thankfully all went off without a hitch and we are now enjoying our covid safe honeymoon in sunny North Wales :)
 
Week 23. Josh and his first time playing on a beach. Needless to say the sand went everywhere!

I somehow missed this entirely! Congrats Tim! Welcome to married life!

Cracking shot Kev! I mirror some of the forums like wildlife into a matching category in the Gallery. I don't actually have a category setup in the Gallery for the weekly challenge, do you think it makes sense to do this? We finally exchanged and completed on our sale today, the last few days since getting back from our honeymoon have been manic!! It's a big relief after 5 months, but now we have the same again with our purchase. If it doesn't work out then we are now chain free so this hopefully puts us in a better position, need to look at the positives! :) How's everything going with the new place?
