wedding wednesday - walls

I can't quite believe this is my penultimate Wedding Wednesday post! Eep!
On Sunday we went to our local church to hear our Banns read for the third & final time. After the service (where thankfully no one made a peep!) we got out Banns certificate which now means we're all set to get married. Wahoo! Our new parish church is really pretty & the people seem lovely but I'm so glad we're getting married in my old Parish church around the people I grew up with. I always dreamed I'd walk down that aisle with dad & no other (aisle that is, not dad!).
We made sure we kept this weekend coming free so we could have lie ins & relax before it all goes crazy (in a good way!). I think after the wedding we're really going to appreciate our down time without worrying we should be tweaking that poster or triple checking check lists. Talking of relaxing we'd kind of forgotten about our Honeymoon with all the madness of planning the wedding so when we sat there last week thinking "this time next Saturday I'll be walking down the aisle/eating cake/dancing/drunk" we suddenly remembered that the week after that we'd be on our Honeymoon & chilled out. We can't wait! It's like a little added bonus to look forward to after the big day & then after that we can start planning Japan! Huzzah!
Yesterday it was my Birthday. Normally I'm like a little kid getting all overly excited but I'd kind of forgotten about it this year (not that there's anything else I'm looking forward to!). It was lovely to have a day off. I'd planned on doing loads of wedding stuff but it turned out my mate Scary would be staying over & so we ended up having a lovely day together before having dinner with Adam. In a way it was nice to have the distraction of not planning & I could just slob out in front of Jeremy Kyle with a cuppa. Rock n Roll!
As you'll see in this post Chris Barber likes walls! They're definitely his thing! See his website HERE if you've still not visited it yet.
I'm going to end my post with this picture, it's my all time favourite & I can't believe I'm marrying this man in 10days time! Yay!

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...
