Hay-on-Wye, wedding time

Reassuring old bridge here


Hey! After a slow week, getting peeps back into school and kindy, me and Sam met up with Todd at The Castle – that kiwi owned pub around from my house – for a catch up and some dins, as Todd had just gotten back from his fancy Euro roady. I had this yum chorizo and asparagus salad in a tortilla, yum yum, tho I'm sure there was no asparagus, unless asparagus here is thin with no head and tastes like green beans. Delicious anyway.

This weekend I was working, and yet again away from London, back in Herefordshire. At one of the insane houses I posted about one other time, theres a panoramic shot of it back somewhere, its big and brick and just amazing of course. Anyway, I’m working this weekend as a swap for the 2 days I had off when we went to Sweden – WHICH I forgot to say, have unisex public toilets. Kind of weird, kinda odd – as this weekend is Kates (my boss) little sisters wedding. COOL!

 We had a bit of a rushed morning, and I had to get the little peeps dressed into the page and bridesmaid outfits and they were sooooo cute! It was pretty awesome, in a wee church, tho it did start pissing down just as everyone was leaving and the bride and groom were coming out, but never fear there were about 50 umbrellas pulled out so everyone mainly stayed dry. It was kinda a fancy wedding, one where people buy whole outfits and hats that match with feathers on top, so I wore a dress I’d borrowed off Sophie as I don't seem to have anything nice nice anymore. Better get shopping methinks! The dress was a hit tho, had a few people comment, which was probably half due to the actual dress and half due to them only ever seeing me in crap work clothes haha. Jeans + t-shirt + sandals = weekly uniform. And I like it. But thanks Sophie! Saver. I managed to snap a few moments, but trying to keep a 3 year old in a white  dress clean in the rain in a field meant I didn’t really have much of a chance...Soon tho! October 1 see you in Australia. Then Emma on the 15th!

Good times.

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

We booked this place a 20 mins drive from Levanto which is on the coast and close to Cinque Terre. The temperature in the mountains is juuuuust that little bit more bearable wth motorbike gear on hahah. Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'. I'd seen a picture of one of them on a bus, we thought we would go to Pisa, Florence and Riomaggiore for the week, and so I googled, 'how to say Cinque Terre'. Keep in mind this is a place in ...
