That's a rubbish guess.

I think it's Gore Glen near Gorebridge.

Am I right?

Yes. Yes, they crossed. That's definitely what happened.

Do I win a prize?

I was giving her the benefit of the doubt. The prize is a virtual slapping

Gore Glen is amazing. We used to go there every Sunday when we had our faithful four legged friend. It was his favourite place. When we knew his end was near we decided that's where he should be buried when the inevitable happened.

Couldn't get permission from Midlothian but the owner of Arniston Estate who has all the land surrounding the Glen, and has a multitude of dogs of all shapes and sizes herself, kindly gave us permission to bury him overlooking the Glen, just above his favourite swimming spot, in the woods. I like to think he is now running around his favourite place in spirit, chasing smells and jumping in the water.

Go back to his grave every year on his anniversary but the only problem is we haven't been able to walk through the Glen since.

We were at a wedding yesterday. Can you tell where the "after" photos were taken??? Answer below!!

Queens Bay Lodge.

Nice pics, Poppy but do you always go off and take pictures of the bushes at the weddings you attend?

Yes. What's wrong with that? Eh?

In fact, I took that pic esp for this thread as a teaser!!

Re: Last pic - don't they dress up for weddings wherever this was? Folk in foreground look a bit under-dressed to me.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 09 Sep 2007, 22:31

PB, there was an Summer Fayre at the Lodge - the wedding was at the King's Manor.

Hi Bob, your photograph is absolutely divive. It looks very similiar to the outside of a chapel I visited months ago. Does your chapel have Tiffany stained-glass windows inside of it? The chapel I was in had sixteen stained-glass memorial panes that were signed by Tiffany or his studio. I may attempt to put some photographs that I took of those up.

I've never taken photographs and placed them on the Internet though I think I will try before the end of next week. They are incrediable since I was able to catch the light just at the right time of day even though the outside of the building was boarded up.

Poppy - The Lodge, but the slim man has both trouser legs rolled up. He must be grand master flash then?

No excuse for sloppy dressing, we're not American

Did you not stay very long at the wedding then?

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 10 Sep 2007, 19:03

Sigh!! The ceremony was at the King's Manor - we were taken across the road for a nice setting for the outdoor and group pics - then we went back to the King's Manor..............The Fayre was incidental!!

Puerto bella · Post by **Puerto bella** » 10 Sep 2007, 22:23

You're not getting away with it that easily, we want to know if it was a good wedding, what was the bride's dress like, the food, was it a free bar, a band or a disco come on more detail please.........

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 11 Sep 2007, 18:14

It was a really great day- beautiful bride, handsome groom, lovely flowers (from Portobello's very own Demi), good food & wine, excellent speeches!!

The King's Manor did the young (haha) couple proud.

I don't suppose you had time for a quick sqizz at the King's Manor spa? I was wondering if it was good enough for a relaxing day's pampering...

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 11 Sep 2007, 18:39

No, I didn't, sorry. The steam might have spoilt me hairdo

But I'm sure they'd let you in for a neb?
