Nigel's Stag Do pt3

(see pt1 & pt2 if you missed them)Most of the gang were all from Lufbra so we (well I) decided to visit some old haunts. The first stop was The Orange Tree. It's the one bar I really miss in London. If I could pick it up & bring it back with me I would.
I had to start the night with a typical circle of faces pics
We got the night going with a few drinking games that were definitely fixed for me to loose, the fact Ross had bought me a Katy cider that was 7.4% didn't help either
Once we left the Orange Tree I was rather merry(!), we popped into Spoons for some cheaper alchofrol (& ale!) which I threw all over the floor (blue screen moment!) before dragging the boys into Echos. It's hard to believe it but even in my wonderful attire I got asked for ID (they were probably hoping I was underage so they could turn me away!).
Inside it was just as bad (great) as we'd remembered & we ended up heading into the side room cos we didn't know any of the modern choons (how old are we?!). We (I) had a bit of a boogie as well commented on how skimpy the girls were dressed (do their mothers know they go out like that?!).
I was dragged off the dancefloor & we headed back to the hotel & crashed. I don't know if they're just used to taller sporty people in Lufbra but I struggled to climb into bed it was that high!
The next morning a bit worse for wear we met up at Spoons for breakfast before walking back to Art's house & gather up some strength for the drive home. It's quite a while since I was that drunk cos I just can't afford to do it in London but I had the shakes and everything! Yoink!
I got home just before Adam so curled up on the sofa, stuck on the tv & chillaxed. This is the face he came home too. Lucky Guy!
The weekend was so much fun & it was lovely to spend time with the lads again, some them hadn't seen each other for about 5years so a proper reunion is definitely on the cards - how about on Sept 1st?! There's a small gathering on that day so might as well come on down! ;-)
Thanks Art - you da bomb, it was MAGIC! :P

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
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...
