...hen do's and wedding bells

Nearly 10 years ago I met Woody while working at a skatepark company. He's sure his enthusiasm helped me get the job. We had a blast Woody, Sam and I in that attic office. It was the beginning of idiot club.

Idiots

This August, Andrew (as his bride-to-be calls him with a soft American twang) is getting married to the gorgeous Natasha. The stags sailed up the river to birmingham in a canal boat while the hens did the do in style in London. 

The afternoon began with a Mad Hatter's Tea party at the Sanderson. 

Here's a peek at the tasty treats...

Thanks to Natasha's lovely mother for the photo.

Ladies, apparently the tune in the music box was "Somewhere over the Rainbow"we couldn't quite place it... 

We then moved onto Berner's Tavern for drinks. Check out its comprehensive drinks cabinet...

Is it wrong to choose a drink for it's colour? You've got to love the pop of orange from an aperol spritz...

After more drinks and games we ended up at Satan's Whiskers for shots and fizzy cocktails, where the hen met a well endowed stuffed Badger - pretty glad Badger wasn't there to see it.

Sunday brunch took place at the highest restaurant in the UK, Duck & Waffle, where we sampled the tasting menu. 

The signature dish was a real winner for me.

A big thank you to all the girls for organising a fun weekend. I am so looking forward to meeting up with everyone and celebrating Woody and Natasha's nuptials so soon.

This was also Sam's first weekend on his own with Jesse and the boy did a stella job. Too good. It's very obvs who his favourite is now...
