hay hay it's freefest!!


Well its that time of year again, beerkeller & freefest! :-)

Adam & i drove up to lufbra saturday morning & thankfully the traffic was fine. We left early cos of it being the bank holiday weekend but we didnt really need to the roads were pretty clear.

We got to lufbra about midday & seeing as the promised rain was holding off we all decided to have a bbq. It was really nice having everyone together chillaxing outside. The gang consisted of Rfa, mattay, tricky, anna, sam, john, ross, ola, adam & me. After our food the swingball was fetched out of the greenhouse & i am pleased to say all those years of playing swingball with mum when i was little paid off & i was, (thanks to tina turner) simply the best! Hehe.

That night it was the beerkeller & thankfully i was a bit (not alot!) more prepared for it & didnt need to call 0800-carrymehome! Was a fun night & i did end up falling backwards over a fence but i was pushed ok?!

Sunday we met the folks & went for a sunday roast & a wall in the park which was really nice. Then later that evening, before we all got so bored we went insane we went bowling. Now, cos id won @ swingball the day before i felt like i had to give everyone else a chance @ winning something so i purposefully played crap & kept 'putting' the ball in the gutter! I hope thats clear to everyone now! Hehe.

Monday was good old freefest! The beers were still flowing tho many of the good ones (tribute) had run out. Noo! Hehe. It only rained a few times thankfully & by the time the good bands were playing it was quite nice. Before we ate or drank too much some of us went on the fairground ride which was great fun! The day was made better by seeing lots of old mates as i walked between the bar & the stage & it was really nice that slink & niall came to join us too. :-) all the way through the afternoon there were hay bails tied up @ the side of the stage but by the time the last 3 bands started playing it was everywhere! (See photographic evidence below!) Im still picking it out of my hood now! It was all a good giggle tho & everyone enjoyed themselves. Freefest had to finish @ 9 this year cos of the noise last year so we went to the union for postfest but after a drink (of coke by that point!) in jcs, we decided to call it a day & headed home leaving a trail of straw behind us!

Tuesday, adam & i had sensibly taken off work to recover! so we chillaxed & wandered round lufbra for a bit before heading back to london that night.

Ah i could get used to starting the week on a wed & finishing on a fri! Hehe.

Xxx

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
