A sea of glasses

Anyone entering the Lamb Inn yesterday at about 1.00pm would have been confronted with a sea of empty glasses covering the entire bar. This was the result of one of the biggest weddings that I can recall, being held at the Methodist church across the road. As is often the case these days, neither of the main protagonists were from the village but arrived at the wedding with about 250 guests. Although the reception was to be held at the Thorverton arms the first drink was at the Lamb and it would seem that for about an hour the wedding party not only took over the pub, but most of the street outside even spilling into king street for a while.

Busy as things were at the Lamb, as one of the bar staff pointed out it was really only a dry run for the real big event next weekend. street market.
