Deprived of its roof, its internal supporting walls and its domesticity, the fine stone mansion continued to witness centuries of decadence, its walls whispering tales of sumptuous celebrations and magnificent marriages made within its estate.

Wedding Report: Helen & Paul, Part Five
14 Sep 2012This man, this shy, retiring man who, for so many years had hidden behind a keyboard under the weight of his shaggy hair, now stood masterfully in the middle of the dance floor by himself.

Wedding Report: Helen & Paul, Part One
10 Sep 2012Paul strolled casually through the lobby with his little girl in his arms. Harriet murmured away in his ear, pointing to random objects and people, knowing that she had her father’s full attention.
