The formal wedding announcement:

 

Professor and Mrs Ian Neal and Mr. and Mrs Hugh Steele are pleased to announce the marriage of their children Hannah and Benjamin on 26 October 2024

 

Ben is a teacher and Special Constable, originally from Newcastle and now living and teaching in County Durham. Hannah and Ben met at Edinburgh Napier University and have been together for a few years now. We're genuinely delighted and very excited to have Ben join the family.

 

 

 

 

October 2024

 

Let’s get some of the more mundane things out of the way first, shall we ... this month saw a few highlights leading up to the big one.  Ian attended the RSGB Convention again.  It was a great one and, having been before (last year), he was fore-warned about what to book-up for.  This year as well as the usual round of really, really interesting talks, he attended a microcomputer workshop.  Some of you might remember that Ian taught Computer Science to A-level back in the day and to him microcomputing was all about programming a BBC Model B with BASIC and Pascal.  Now, it’s about coding an Arduino or Raspberry Pi in “C”.  Things have come on a very long way!

 

Apart from that, the month was taken up by preparations such as hairdos!

 

Of course the big event of the month was Hannah and Ben’s wedding.  It’s really difficult to capture an event as significant at this in a few words on a public blog like this, so please feel free to drop us a note and ask for more details, photos and so on.  A few people have asked for the script of Ian’s “Father of the Bride” speech with all the quotes and musical references, so if you’d like a copy please ask.

 

Suffice to say (for here) that it was a wonderful event where many tears of joy were shed and lots of conversations amongst friends and family, old and new, were had.  It was terrific for example, for us to see Hannah’s friends from her university days again.  It was a fantastic day.
