hantsbear | In Which Russ Gets A Brief Introduction To My Past...

And so, on Saturday, rock_bear and I head up into deepest, darkest Sussex to Horsham to the wedding of a friend of mine of some 20 years standing...

After much frantic preening in the park, we headed to the church where Mitch and Sue were getting married. Russ claims he thought he was the only one singing, and I found that after many years of stoic atheisim I could still just about remember The Lord's Prayer. After the service, many introductions were made, to Jean and Bill, to Karen, Keith and their two sons Andrew and Jamie, to Heather and to Penny. Russ has seen the videos of my sordid past (including the one of an extremely young, shorthaired, moustacio-d (and extremely camp) me narrating a play at a Doctor Who convention in the late eighties.)

I'm not too sure how shell-shocked Russ came out of the ordeal, but his eyebrows virtually hit the ceiling when I told him afterwards that Penny was my first attempt at a girlfriend (when I thought I was straight...)

"Oh, so that's why she was looking a bit funny...!!!"
