What can I tell you?
For someone who was a little nervous about spending a weekend with a bunch of people of whom she only really knew about two of very well, I think it went ok.
Seriously, I have just spent 3 days and two nights with a bunch of the loveliest girls. Though we were all quite different in age, experience and interests we all found common ground in Lucy.
Lucy is one of those people who just makes you feel good about yourself. She’s honest, loyal, intelligent, hilarious, passionate and wise and I love her dearly, as did every person there. I think that’s what made it so good. It truly was all about her.
When we arrived at our secret location, a stunning 16th Century barn conversion, the tears started the moment we walked in the door. We were met by Kat and Dan who planned the weekend for us and will be the most fabulous bridesmaids ever, and before long Lucy was introduced to her outfit for the night.
Her fears of utter humiliation at the hands of her mates and the residents of Bath soon abated when she realized that her hens were looking equally, erm, ropey, and that we were staying in for the evening. For a moment she was a little concerned about the two strange ladies in the kitchen but as the smell of good food wafted up her nostrils she realized they were caterers not serial killers and all was well.
Then the partying began.
There was dancing…
And singing…
And lots of smiling.
New friendships were made…
Whoops, I mean…
..old ones reaffirmed.
And absent friends acknowledged and erm, carried around with their heads on sticks (love you Dez though NZ isn’t that far away, tsk).
And our first night was a roaring success.
Waking up the next morning to this view was the best start to day two, but I’ll tell you all about that tomorrow when ‘ The Hen’s hit Bath.’
P.S. The winner of the ‘Bad Taste Bridesmaids’ and the owner of the tres sassy red boots, the fabulous and lovely Nats, receiving her award.
