Goodness me, what a couple of weeks, roller-coasting around I can tell you! The bad news was our computer was most vexing and troublesome, threatening to lose all our lovely pics and more importantly silly videos from our karaoke party, not to mention throwing me into cyber limbo. But much more importantly, the chap and I have had some lovely adventures, travelling up and down the country, visiting friends and being involved in a simply terrific family wedding which was glam and elegant and full of glee and insaniteee.The wedding of the chap's brother and his stunning bride.
For those of you addicted to weddings, do take a peek at these fabulous pictures by Kerry Morgan.
Lovely bride asked me if I would make her bouquet and those of the bridesmaids, she chose vintage style roses in shades of ballet slipper pink and the bridesmaids had contrasting rich purple hydrangeas.
It was a magnificently well dressed wedding, at last an excuse to wear a darling little vintage cocktail dress in bubblegum pink I picked up in an aladdin's cave vintage shop in Devon. The chap looked everso dashing also.
The wild birds nest hair was tamed as never before by Miss Betty of the fantabulous retro rock n roll hairdresser called It's Something Hell's in Carnaby Street London. Of course it was pouring with rain
when I left- oh for a plastic hair thingummy bob to tie under my chin! I was, however introduced to the invisible hairnet, brill,wore it round Top Shop and everything. I was indeed set snug, just like this..
The day after the wedding we went for a wander through Kensington Gardens en famille via the carousel where we had to take a spin( I had to ride side saddle!) and we ended up in The Orangery for afternoon tea... now I wonder whose idea that was, don't you?
It was such a delight to walk into this beautiful light and airy Georgian building, the tea was absolutely scrumptious, made even more delicious by feeling one had earnt it through wild dancing the previous night. Tea comes from the only English tea plantation Tregothnan.
Would love to take a visit down to their estate in Cornwall.You can purchase their tea online too.
Any place that describes afternoon tea as 'the most special part of the day' is going to get my approval.
Will be back soon with part two of our adventures, beach huts tea dances and smiley babies!
