Pictures from Tara and Nathan

Wow am I really doing this blog thing??




Struggling to keep up with everything at the moment but just a quick update.


Nathan and I had the MOST wonderful day for our wedding and it was just so great to see everyone. I enjoyed every moment and shall cherish it always.

So glad you could all come I know it was such a long way but much appreciated. (london really is horrendously far far away in another galaxy!)





Have just finished watching dads speech! Very touching Dad thankyou. A friend of ours videoed it. Did try to upload it but its too big. Any ideas?



Honeymoon was lovely, weather not great but we just loved being together so who cares. Had lots of fun on a 250 moped. Great way to go round the hair pin bends in sicily. Reminded us of when we were 16 and Nath had a wee motorbike(would that have been a 50 or 60cc?). We used to go to parties on it. Ooops. He's going to be desperate to get another bike but he had a nasty accident on the last one leaving him with plasters on both his arms a few years ago.




Nathan is moving to Glasgow in 2 weeks. The only way he is going to have time to look for a job here is by moving here. Hurray!!

Are there prizes for the best blog????

Love Tara

#4 Rest of the UK Trip

Our trip to UK was filled with interesting activities. Becky and Neil gave us a whirlwind tour of London's southbank - seeing their place again and riding the London Eye were highlights of the visit. Neil, Becky, and Tony tried their hand at playing the pipes. There is a video at the end of this blog that shows their musical skills. Also put in a short video of some character acting as "Charlie Chaplin" at one of the places we stopped for refreshments.

Notice the picture taken by Neil (the professional photographer), where he had to stand up on the seats to get a photo looking down on all three of us!!

Geocaching with Becky and Neil and later with Jacqueline and Terry was a lot of fun. Pictures are of Jacqueline and Terry during their first week of geocaching. There is also a video below showing Tony while we were geocaching down by the Lochs.













We stopped by to see Dawn, Carl, and the guinea pigs.











Our time with Jonathan was entertaining as well....all of us trying our skill on the exercising machine belonging to Terry & Jacqueline. A video is below of Jonathan on the exercise machine.












Towards the end of our holiday, we spent an evening with June and Bill at their home. I think Terry took all three of these pictures.

Thanks to everyone for such a great time in UK. We appreciate all you did to make our visit very special.

Remember, everyone, it's your turn to post to this blog. Some of the things we want to know:

• how the newlyweds are doing
• how the bar business is coming along in Spain
• pictures from a trip to Portugal
• when another wedding will occur in the family
• how life is for a "guinea pig" raiser
• how the publishing business is in London
  

If you want to post a blog and it isn't working for you, let me know and I'll see what I have done wrong.

#3 - Old pictures, Wedding

Thanks everyone who has commented or sent us emails. I hope you realize that you can post a blog too...and pictures....and videos....whatever you want the rest of the family to know about.

Terry and Dawn sent emails to shed some light on the questionable pictures. I have updated Blog #2 with their comments.

Another clever site I found was this one

http://picasaweb.google.com/tonysingleton8/SingletonFamily?authkey=8LqSzj8QsHM#

It takes you to Picasa Web Album where you can write comments about the pictures on this blog as well as see a slide show of any picture we post on this blog. Isn't technology wonderful?

I am scanning the back of the Iris and Ronald picture so everyone can see the caption. Question mark and "SS" was put there by me. Letters at the bottom were already on the picture back.

After going through all our UK trip pictures, I thought some of you might possibly like to see some candid shots that were not captured by the "official" wedding photographers. Double click on photo to enlarge.
