Cess & her hens

Last weekend it was a fellow India Girlie's Hen Party. Step forward bride-to-be Cess.
We all met at the Brunswick House Cafe which was a fab venue right next to Vauxhall Station. It was the right level of quirky & full of random bits & bobs hanging from the ceiling. When we went to the table Cess' MOH had added to the decorations with tea lights & a pretty table cloth as well as our own place settings.
Thankfully it wasn't obviously a Hen Party, though there were subtle hints like Cessie's straw on the table! :P
The waiter was really lovely while he took these photos & was determined to get the best shot possible which was evident at the number of photos on my memory card!
Once we'd sorted out the bill, overpaid by £67, got the money back & put it all into the drinks kitty we set off for Thamesis Dock just down the road on Albert Embankment.
It's a fab 1930s Dutch Barge that's been converted into a pub/club & the view of Parliament & Big Ben was stunning all night. We had our own table inside where we made the most of the drinks kitty involving G&T & Jager Bombs yoink!
As usual we weren't the only Hen/Stag party & these 3 guys were out to celebrate the guy in blue's Stag. Everyone found it hilarious that I matched the other blokes so well, (I'm in the middle in case you were wondering!)!
We made our way down to the lower deck for a bit of a boogie. I grabbed this shot from the deck above of the girls before I had to get one with Cessie & Emhen, India girlies reunite!
It was so hot in there it felt like we were back clubbing in Taika, thought I don't think we were ever that warm in B'lore! Well maybe we were but the Kingfisher seems to have blocked it all out!
I couldn't resist one last photo of Big Ben & the London Eye before I walked back across the bridge with Ehmen to her place where we had a cuppa, a bagel & good old natter before crashing about 2:30am. Another brill Hen Party getting to spend time with my nearest & dearest. Mwah!

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...
