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.
