let the fun begin

carrying on from yesterday's post (click HERE).After the church service (where I thankfully didn't blub) Nick & Lisa held their reception at the stunning Crabbs Barn, it really was pretty & thankfully we did quite well with the weather. In between posing for the official shots (we scrub up well don't we?! :P) I was off tottering around with my Bucks Fizz/Ale in one hand & little Lumix in the other capturing my own spin on the day.
Thanks so much to Christina (on the left) for letting me post this pic that her little girl took (think she's got a budding photographer there & I might have competition!).
Lisa with Jenna her maid of honor & Nick's best man (in more ways than one!) Adam. What a stunning family.
While waiting for dinner Ash, Paul & Adam reflect on the day & the meaning of life.
Before too long it was time to go inside, we cheered Nick & Lisa as they walked into the room as the new Mr & Mrs before they cut their elegant cake & we all sat down to  a scrummy dinner of spiced butternut squash & roast lamb. Yum!
After dinner (& a few glasses of wine for dutch courage) it was time for the speeches. Keith, Nick & Adam all did great jobs, Adam had everyone laughing along & he nailed it! :)
I glanced over to Jenna's table during the speeches & loved her expressions, I know I'll be the same come September!

Once the speeches were over we went back outside to the bar & sweet table while the room was cleared ready for the last part(y) (see what I did there?! :P ) of the day which I'll post tomorrow.

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...
