Andrew and Lisa's Wedding

 Andy and Lisa got married last Friday in Bournemouth... it was truly beautiful. 
Chloe (andrew and lisa's daughter) followed by Lisa and her Dad
George and Bev (who are also getting married this year) and their gorgeous boy Harry

signing the papers :)

only a tiny drizzle of rain as we all exited the castle... otherwise, amazing weather!

Sam and I
making sure the bride gets her fair share of bubbly!
and then partied on into the evening.... :)

ahhhh bliss!

A long weekend in Italy is just what the doctor ordered! Sam and I had a tasting for our wedding anyway so we of course made the most of it and escaped flooding London for the sunny 27 degrees in Puglia. Bliss!  

Why not fish off the side of a cliff?!

It seems like there is a postcard around every corner. It is very easy to take beautiful photos here

too cool for school?!

I think we were a little eager for the tasting! It was lovely food, beautiful wine (a lot of wine!) and loads of Italians who seemed to be impressed with it as well.


We then hit the sea side... although it was very rocky and not the most relaxing sit down place it was very nice for a wander!

Eating all day is exhausting stuff... sitting down with a beer, a little more food, and watching the sunset is even more exhausting ;) in. heaven. can't describe how amazing it was.

happy as a pig in shit.



The next day we decided to google a beach... a real beach with sand and water we can splash around in. We found a reserve by the sea and OH WOW it was perfect! White sand and clear water, I only wish we had of been a little more prepared!

No sun cream, no towels and no bathers. Just Sam in his underwear which were embarrassingly see through on his exit from the water.  Sam wanted me to title this photo 'Sam's Daniel Craig Moment'.... However, I would like to go with              'Tighty Whitey!'

A Fantastic weekend!

A tad hungover?!

           A bit of a laugh really... Sam feeling very sorry for himself after Andrews stag weekend....
                        and me after a big night out on the town. I sleep it off... Sam mopes ;)

Lisa's Hen Doooo

 It seems that this year is the year for weddings... 4 of Sam's mates are getting married, 2 of which are his closest.
Lisa and Andrews wedding was last weekend and I will pop some photos up of it (after I get them off my camera!) but of course you can't have a wedding without a cracking hen party beforehand!
I started the day off with a bit of a treat for Lisa and I at Chiswick Health and Wellness Spa. They did beautiful manicures for both of us.... it was very relaxing!
We then followed it up with a shot of peach schnaps (bleh!!) and a short ride to the Rock and Rose restaurant in Richmond where we met the rest of the party. We had a sit down meal which was lovely, a few games and many many cocktails!!

After a quick change at Sarah's (Lisa's matron of honor), some bubbly and some karaoke we set out for Chiswick high road where we have Lis tasks to do in each pub we hit.
 ...followed by a boozy tube ride. (Lisa appears to be clinging on for dear life!!)



We made our way to a club in Soho called Mia Bella and boogied the night away!!
Photos of the wedding to follow....
