Cess & Dan's wedding 17.08.12

A few weeks ago it was Cess' wedding down in Dorset. After a rubbish drive down (it was supposed to take 2.5hrs, it was more like 4.5!) we finally pulled into a field rather frazzled with a hour to put up a tent, get changed & eat before we were due to join the party for the evening reception. Luckily the tent behaved & went up in record time, we threw on our clothes but had to forget food for now. We picked up Emhen & Luke from their tent on the way & walked to the farmyard next door to stunning magical marquee.
It was so Cess&Dan & was perfect. We met Becca & PJ in there, grabbed a G&T from a wonderfully cheap homemade bar & sat on a hay bale soaking in the atmosphere.
Everyone was called into the main marquee for their first dance which was great fun & had everyone else up dancing together by the end. The great music carried on all night thanks to their mates DJ-ing & Dan even doing a set of his own!
We went for a wander to the portaloos in one of the outbuildings & it just looked so pretty there were even fairylights in the loos! While waiting in a queue we kept ourselves entertained with the comedy masks!
We danced the night away (I was originally wearing platforms but they soon came off in favour of my wellies!) & leaped on the Moroccan buffet before heading back to our tent about half midnight & snuggling down in our sleepingbags while the music thumped on!

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&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am
