Paris Day1: Arrival.
Posted by martin newham in Holidays, Travel on August 30, 2009
Arrived at the hotel at Disney around 2pm local time. Check in was a bit of a chore, bit finally got onto the room – it’s on the 8th floor and overlooking the hotel delivery area – 4/10 for location.

Well we’ve just left St. Pancras station, I feel as if I should be wearing a seatbelt.
Paris Day1: Ready to go
Posted by martin newham in Holidays, Travel on August 30, 2009
Arrived at London St. Pancras International to get the Eurostar train direct to Disneyland Paris.
The train leaves at 09:53, so I’m hanging around in the very small departure area waiting.
I think Disney has loaned the station some brass band. They seem very Disney-esk.
Weekend of Celebration – Tim & Belinda’s Wedding
Posted by martin newham in Holidays, Musings, Travel on July 20, 2009
17th ~ 19th July 2009
Ceremony occurring on the Saturday 18th July 2009
Update: I’ve posted the Slideshow video from the DVD at the bottom of this post
What a fantastic couple of days; a good friend of 20+ years honoured me by inviting me to his very exclusive wedding located in Winchelsea near Rye in the UK.
They had converted a small hotel, into what can only be explained as an extended family home for 3 days. The whole hotel was reserved for the wedding group, and the setting and location was amazing.
We arrived late Friday afternoon and we shown to our room, the 18th Century building can only be described as unique, its exposed beams and low ceilings really brought home the historic charm of the building (I have the bruises to prove it).
