title Petay's Wedding Reception, Fanhams Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire - 20th August 2021 intro It's Petay - formerly of Qualcomm Cambridge - and partner Gavin's wedding at Fanhams Hall near Ware in Hertfordshire, and Nosher and Isobel are invited to the reception, along with James and Janet, making it something of a mini Qualcomm reunion. The venue is great - it manages to host three weddings at the same time - and the reception itself is much fun, especially as we've got a room for the night so can make the most of the wedding prosecco. The next day, on the way back, we're diverted through Newmarket, where there's a chance to spot a few derelict buildings in the home of horse racing. imgp9516 Isobel looks back as we head off to the reception imgp9520 The gardens of Fanhams Hall imgp9522 A Vulcan Bomber-shaped butterfly imgp9526 Isobel drops off her crocheted wedding present imgp9527 We meet up with Janet and James imgp9529 Wedding mingling imgp9530 Guests hang out by the lake imgp9536 Petay and Isobel do some phone tech stuff imgp9541 The official photographer takes a phone photo imgp9546 Out on the patio imgp9557 Gavin and Petay make an entrance imgp9558 Another phone photo imgp9560 The cutting of the cake is set up imgp9565 The cake is cut imgp9570 The cake is hauled off imgp9571 The master of ceremonies does his thing imgp9588 More first dancing imgp9592 The other guests join in imgp9610 Isobel and Janet throw some shapes imgp9618 A quiet corner of the hotel imgp9620 A photo is set up imgp9631 Wedding mothers imgp9634 The photographer gets a food action shot imgp9639 Table dancing breaks out imgp9643 Someone gets pointed at a lot imgp9650 Another wedding photo imgp9659 Cheers for table dancing imgp9666 A hug on the dancefloor imgp9682 Gavin dances among the petals imgp9696 Gavin does a gang sign imgp9699 Dancing under an indoor tent imgp9701 Disco dancing imgp9703 Gavin and Petay on the dancefloor imgp9709 A surprised face imgp9715 Gavin really gets into it imgp9725 A traditional Croatian dance breaks out imgp9727 James, Janet and Isobel in the circle imgp9732 An old dude prepares to join the dance imgp9736 Petay and Gavin imgp9742 Applause for something imgp9751 Petay looks up imgp9766 Some sort of Irish/Scottish jig occurs imgp9772 Isobel's in a bit of a spin imgp9777 The dancing continues imgp9779 The hotel courtyard on the following morning imgp9780 A grand 1920s fireplace imgp9781 Isobel and Janet do breakfast imgp9784 Isobel's got a coffee imgp9786 We sit out by the lake for a bit imgp9789 Fanhams Hall from across the lake imgp9793 James has a quick video call imgp9794 A pair of deck chairs on the lawn imgp9800 We roam the corridors imgp9801 Left-over artifacts from another wedding imgp9802 Back in the room, we pack up our things imgp9804 We see Janet and James in the courtyard imgp9805 Petay comes over for a chat before we leave imgp9806 Petay's 2020 Pride trainers imgp9807 The Jacobean part of Fanhams Hall imgp9808 James and Janet on the steps imgp9810 Petay shows a photo imgp9812 A purple field near the village of Barley imgp9814 Isobel waits in the car imgp9815 The derelict White Lion in Newmarket imgp9816 A derelict pub on the High Street, Newmarket imgp9818 An overgrown derelict building on High Street imgp9820 Another derelict house in Newmarket imgp9821 Newmarket High Street imgp9822 Another view of the overgrown building imgp9823 The derelict pub imgp9824 A Freemasons' lodge imgp9825 A statue of a thoroughbred horse imgp9826 People cross the High Street
