Tuesday, June 29th, Priory Park Malvern

a beautiful morning saw me lead the opening ceremony of the recently refurbished Priory Park Bridge. It realy is a magnificent structure, made from tradional materials following traditional methods, with the noted exception that the bridge has been fitted with LED lights in the footway to illuminate it at night, something the former structure wassadly lacking. I look forward to visiting and using the bridge in years to some when the wood has stared to weather naturally, I'm sure it will look superb. Since we started doing civil ceremonies in the Council House, I think this must have become the most photographed point in the district, so I was pleased to hear that even though I was officially first across the bridge, Joseph Woods the Builders had sensibly allowed couples to have their wedding photographs taken on the bridge whilst work was in progress. (Health and Safety permitting, of course, in case there are any government watchdog types following this blog!)
