7 Day Round Up...

Gin,  Correct. Regards, Karen.

It's been a busy week...Grab a brew (or gin) and get comfy.

Apart from the eat/drink/full/drunk rotation over the last seven days, it panned out something like this...

Thursday; Collect bestie from her 24 hour flight from Oz to Heathrow Head straight into London for brunch at Liberty Shop on Regent Street on the hottest day of the year Drive to the village of Petworth (quintessentially English) Over night at a gorgeous cottage - just me and Andrea

Friday; Build the wedding of the year with other bestie - worthy of it's very own Pinterest following Lunch with close friends and family Back to the barn for finishing touches Dinner with Team Bridesmaid, the Bride to be and Andrea A couple of hours sleep

Saturday; Concern grows for missing Bride - she'd gone for a walk, it's all good Hair and make-up carnage Dresses on Bride nails it and she sweeps down the stairs We all cry (again) Cars arrive Nerves kick in - I was doing a reading Down the aisle Reading goes well Lil and Ian ensure there's not a dry eye in the house and become Mr and Mrs. Drinks, lawn games and a tonne of photos BBQ and the most incredible cheesecake to follow Re-group (read sober up) Evening guests arrive, band kicks in and the dance floor remains full until the carriages arrive Spend half hour removing hair pins and back combing Amy Winehouse would be jealous of.

Sunday; A champions breakfast Dismantle the wedding and strip the barn to it's former state 3 hour drive back to the South West with Aussie bestie Re-group for an hour Girlsfriends arrive from the Midlands Drink wine Eat Drink wine Laugh Talk Repeat.

Monday; Carb heavy breakfast Head to Clifton for bubbles and food at The Avon Gorge  (Sabbatical appreciation kicks in) Back to mine, cook a huge curry and drink Sangria until the small hours

Tuesday; Coffee and fresh air with the girls More food Wave the Midland ladies off and hit the shops, again.

Wednesday; Breakfast with bestie and my mum Take bestie to collect hire car and try not to cry as wave her off, again. Still trying to remove the persistent Mac eyeliner applied for the wedding.
