Miss B Jr's 30!

It's my 30th celebrate with me. I couldn't believe that Miss B Jr. was about to turn 30, there was no question that we'd celebrate too.

The plan was to get the Oxford Tube bus together, GO would get the bus in Oxford and would join at the park and ride, but that didn't work out because not only was every bus jammed, the driver didn't take cards and there wasn't a card machine in sight. I would have to drive into the next village and get back.

So I made a snap decision to drive to Hillingdon and get onto the Underground from there, I would take a train to Marble Arch and meet GO there.

When we arrive at the pub, it was full, as usual but also it had a nice relaxe vibe. It felt more like an Oxford bar rather than one in the centre of London.

The Birthday Girl was in fine spirits, no thanks to all the people who bought her extra drinks with each trip to the bar.

It was after a chat that we realised we hadn't seen each other in almost a year. It is shocking how quickly life is zooming by.

The end of the evening was a muddle of hugs, goodbyes, promises not leave it too long next time and quick dashes into burger bars, a everyone had forgotten to eat. Nothing says cosmopolitan, like sitting on a bench outside Selfridges at eleven o'clock stuffing your face with burgers. A good night wad had by all, the following morning is another story.

Blushing Bride

I love a good wedding, but I also love a look at the bits and pieces that go together to make a bride. These are a few pictures of my own bridal outfit.

My dress was nothing like the one I had imagined in my head, I was going to be a lacey bride all the way. When I tried this dress one I fell in love with the silk and ever so subtle sparkle.
