Well it looks like we've got ourselves a wedding venue.

Ails and I drove over to take a look at Cripps Barn yesterday.

Even though it's currently undergoing major renovation it was clear it's just the kind of place we're looking for -- rural, informal and a great venue for a big party.

We stayed over at the Bell Inn at Skenfrith near Abergavenny, which I can't recommend highly enough. Cosy surroundings, superb food by chef Kurt Fleming and a first rate wine list.

The perfect place to take your mistress -- or your wife-to-be for that matter.
