Been to Lancashire for the wedding of kyte and eponymousarchon. We drove up Friday with erming in tow and arrived late afternoon. Didn't do much after arriving, though we did have a very nice meal in the hotel restaurant (fantastic sticky toffee pudding).

We didn't make breakfast the next morning (I woke up at 11:00 *cough*). Showered, actually BLOW-DRIED my hair *gasp*, had some lunch in the bar, and then got ready for the wedding. When we got there, I felt like the least goth spod and half wished I'd worn the pink outfit I brought (complete with pink patent-leather high-heeled shoes--much harder to walk in than the high-heeled Mary Janes I was wearing though).

The wedding was lovely--Kit and George looked really happy :) We were seated at the same table as Andy and philipstorry so a suitably low level of conversation was assured! After the meal we went outside for the ceremony (OK, blessing). The English weather actually cooperated, and it was gorgeous. bluedevi did a wonderful job.

Then, of course, the disco--I actually danced! (Cheesy '80s music helped ;) ) Got to talk to quite a few people I don't see enough of, ate hotpot, and generally had lots of fun. Had a drink in the hotel bar after, then bed.

This morning, I was actually up at 8:30, got dressed, packed, and ate breakfast (just scrambled eggs and toast for me--I will never manage a full English breakfast, especially with black pudding!). Said our goodbyes and drove back to London, which was quick (Neil doing 100mph on the M6 might have helped ;) ) Dropped Ian off, stopped at Waitrose (where Neil was very set in his shopping ways, but I got strawberries and extra-thiick double cream--mmm, we won't see locally grown ones at home till June).

And now, I'm spodding and Neil's watching the snooker ;)
