In lieu of me actually getting round to editing the Hi8 footage into some semblance of order (fat chance!), here are a few choice screen-grabs from our weekend of hedonism/sadness in Portmeirion in honour of Paul’s impending nuptials.And I still think A Matter of Life and Death is a great film…. |
 |  |
The Unusual Suspects: Richard Augood, Allen Lamey, Chelsea Lamey, Nick Cooper, Paul Woodward, Simon Wellings, Paul Shields & Charlie Heppenstall. | “Yay! Let’s go and scare the day-trippers!” Chelsea rediscovers the terrors of walking on cobblestones in high-heels. |
 |  |
“You can see our house from here!” | The Not-So-Green Dome – more grey, really…. |
 |  |
Paul in threatening mood. Simon auditions for the CIA. | Chelsea – The Girl Who was (Frozen to) Death! |
ABOVE: No. 6 enjoys a brisk early morning walk in The Village….RIGHT: Paul fails miserably with his Patrick McGoohan impression, but demonstrates a remarkable similarity with the statue of Atlas. Well, with the globe, at any rate…. |  |
 |  |
Loitering with Intent…. | “Extreme close-up – woah!” |
 |  |
 |  |
Paul fails to secure a picture of the cute bird…. | How it should be done! |
 |  |
The impressive bust that Allen couldn’t resist getting his hands on – modesty forbids using that picture…. | [This amusing caption-space for rent!] |
 |  |
Yes, you can take the bloke out of Australia, but you can’t take Australia out of the bloke…. | “Are you sure they’ll let us in the restaurent looking like this…?” |
 |  |
Oh no! I hit “zoom-in” instead of “zoom-out” by mistake!” | The Pagoda – “But what’s it for?!” |
 |  |
Amazement all round as Chelsea thinks she’s spotted the one Welsh person with a sense of humour… but it was a false alarm. | “In 1967, Patrick Mc-Goo-han came here, to Port-meeery-on to record The Prisoner, a series that run for just 17 weeks and left the country baffled!” |
 |  |
“Stars are falling!!” “Father, get your weapon!” and other sadisms…. |
 |  |
“Bunch of arse!” Charlie in an elequent mood. | Not my best side…. |
 |  |
 |  |
Chelsea, who just couldn’t be arsed taking her Girl make-up off! | Richard distraught as Some Like it Hot is voted a better film than Taxi Driver. |
