I had a really execllent weekend! Travelled up to London by train and out to A&N's in East London, where I was staying, with no hiccups at all, despite the Circle & District line, and Hammersmith & City line all being closed through Paddington. I had a really nice lunch with them, then N & I headed off to a place called "The make Lounge for an afternoon of making bath products (bath bombes, massage bars, lip balm etc) as the start of
edith_hedingham's hen night. We finished there around 5:30pm, then settled for a couple of hours in the small outside space at a local pub, where we all (about 10 of us) had a good natter. We then went off to a local Turkish restaurant for dinner, with a few bottles of wine shared between us! N & I decided to give the dancing/extra drinks a miss and got back to N's house just before 11pm. I slept pretty well, then A cooked a good breakfast of eggs benedict for us this morning, and I eventually headed off for home at around 11am. Again all the trains worked perfectly and I got home to be greeted by alternate purring and yelling from Pixie, who defintely wanted food more than fuss!
Only downside was that the cold I thought had cleared up on friday appears to have returned with a vengence today, and my nose has been running like a tap since I got up this morning! I'm now feeling pretty rotten, and contemplating a very early night with a cup of lemon, honey and ginger to see if that helps at all.......
