As regular readers will know I set a great deal of store by good service.
I would like to cite an example now of good service, in fact exemplary service.
Earlier in the year we had a tent made by Heritage Tents up in dear old Retford in Nottinghamshire.
We were delighted. It is a great piece of kit. It was a good price, and was made on time and the chaps at Heritage tents were lovely to deal with.
However, the first time we used the tent in the rain, at Kenilworth
the red piping ran into the white canvas. We mentioned this to Heritage Tents and it was a call to action. They took the tent back, tested all their piping materials and made us another tent without quibble with a new piping. This was a fabulous service and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
So back to other business. Last Sunday I was Toastmaster at a frantic wedding at The Hilton, Coventry for Shilpa and Sandeep. Once again it was through the Lakhani Group and was memorable for a number of things. This was the first wedding I've worked at where the bridegroom arrived on a horse...,
and the bride arrived in a Doli
It was all amazingly colourful and impressive.
Well today off to Manchester to see one of my all time musical favourirtes, James Taylor.

To say I'm looking forward to it is something of an understatement. Well that's about it for now. Much to prepare for. Not only do I have a busy weekend coming up, but it is the weekend of Fristock! The biggest, the best open air concert fielded at Frisby cricket pitch this year. Seriously though folks pray for good weather, because that is the only thing that can possibly put any kind of dampner on this brilliant event. Not only that, my mate Manfred is coming over from Potsdam for it! It is being headlined this year by The Grigglefish Project. They should have had the headline spot last year.
At this point I was going to put in a film of them, but my blog has stopped letting me put films in. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Anyway, I must go now. A massively busy weekend starting this afternoon with Robin Hood in Sheffield, Toastmaster at a wedding at Langley Priory for Nicola and Michael. (It has now stopped me putting in pictures, double Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr), then stilt-walking on Sunday at Newby Hall in Yorkshire.
Live Long and Be Toastmastered.
