A small world


Before taking J&P to the airport we had to pop into Nîmes to pick up translations of some of their documents. This would then finalize the paperwork for the wedding. Did you know that you could get a Certificate of Non Impediment (to confirm that you are single) from the Registrars in England? This was one of the documents that had to be translated, but why it isn't issued in several languages, or more to the point, the languages of the countries that require it, beats me. Anyway, what was interesting was that the French lady translator lived near Harrogate, for 14 years, where James was born. How weird.

Having finally tired of family and parties, we did nothing but slump for the rest of the day, and I was particularly happy because I got to watch the German Grand Prix and an exciting final to the golf at the British Open. Bliss.
