It's been a pretty hectic week. most of the week was spent in a coastal town in Southern england called Eastbourne, at the wedding of one of my best friends. She's called Matina, is Greek and a good mate, and decided to have her wedding in traditional Greek style. Due to various reasons which are beyond me she (we) ended up in Eastbourne.
Eastbourne is like a retirement town and has a distinctly grey and dying feel to it. Not in a morbid sense, but more like where people come to spend the remaining days of their lives. Everything moves slower (or on small motorised mobility scooters) and everyone seems to have grey or white hair. Despite this though it turned into three days of utter relaxation mixed in with a Greek Orthodox service and some dancing and partying. A lot of her family came over from Athens and much fun and consternation was had with the food and dancing in particular.
We were blessed with fantastic weather and a friend and I spent many happy hours walking round, eating and taking photos. Some of the results of the latter you can see on the photoblog linked on the right. Many of us at the wedding were pretty dog tired and for some reason the peace and slow pace of Eastbourne got us all completely chilled. Leaving to go to work on Friday was so so tough!!
I'm sorry if this post is a bit nothing to some of you, but I just want to post a couple of pics of the happy couple and to wish them all the best for the future.
