A winter wedding in a tipi with all the guests staying in rented farm houses for the weekend and a Great British bake off pudding competition to culminate was an occasion to remember. We kicked off with vintage afternoon tea of scones with clotted cream and English breakfast tea, with mulled wine for those that needed extra warmth and a sweetie counter to keep sugar levels up. A quick change into evening attire and guests reassembled for the ceremony followed by speeches and then supper of slow cooked pork with roasted winter vegetables, apple and rosemary jelly, cannelloni and haricots with fennel and baby spinach. Plenty of warm crusty pain de campagne , not a scrap was left on the plates . . . . Prizes for pudding went to the best, the worst looking but tastiest and the one most likely to have come from Tesco. A guitarist started singing and marshmallows were toasted around the fire in the tipi, sadly we had to leave before the snow started.
