The wedding was at a self-catering place on a working farm (lovely rooms arranged around a courtyard) and had a big pond you could swim in complete with old slide and decking. It was really wonderful and clean and you could swim right up to the banks which were full of frogs and dragonflies in and amongst the pond plants! So beautiful.<br /><br />Some people were less enamoured with it when I pointed out the leeches though!<br /><br />Not quite good as Canadian lake swimming but pretty good and warm!Katnoreply@blogger.com
