Originally uploaded by michelleeg

You can't tell, but it was pouring with rain for some of the day!! My friends piked on the day, but luckily Mic and Amy were still going so I joined them and headed out to Ascot. The train was absolutely packed!! I scalped a ticket once I got there, we all headed into the Silver Ring, grabbed a couple of tables and set up our picnic... hoummous hoummous and more hoummous!! I think we'd all bought it for a snack!! Lotsa champers and Pimms. Very glad that we were under cover as when it rained it was torrential!!

Amy was the lucky gal of the day so I followed her lead and picked the same horse she did on the last race and won!! YAY!!

After the races were over we headed back into Clapham and spent the night dancing in the Grand.

I first met Dahlia in August of 2005 in Edinburgh when i lived up there for the month. She's from California and was staying in Cambridge with a couple of friends for a while. I decided that for a nice outing for Mrs D I'd take her up there and we could catch up and do a bit of sightseeing.

It was a lovely day... one of the only nice ones this summer so far!!

Phew!!!! mick and kirsti had spent 3 days back in ireland sorting out last minute things and picking up left luggage. They got back in Thurdsday and Friday Kerri joined us and we drove up to Llangollen for the weekend. Saturday Linda and I picked up Mic, Michelle and Amy from Wrexham train station and we then chilled and had a picnic by the river. It was such a lovely afternoon as we strolled along the canal into Llangollen town passing by a family of ducks and several horse drawn boats.

Saturday night was spent eating and drinking (Mick was BBQ maestro extrodinaire). Kerri and I decided to head into town to see what we could see and ran into old pals and again spent the night in town.. Sunday was not pretty.... Sooooo hungover!! spent the day sleeping whilst everyone else hiked in the hills around Lindas' home, Kerri and I then encouraged Mick to drive us back to London......

Linda had invited us up to Llangollen for a weekend of planting and partying. The 5 of us girls headed up Friday night and had a lovely time walking around Llangollen and planting plants in the garden (I use the term garden very loosely!!). It was Anna's birthday on the Saturday so we had a little b'day cake and headed into town that evening to see what we could see....

Anna and I ended up crashing at a pal's house for thenight and hiked back up the hill the next morning (since we didn't take our phones or spare cash we had no way of contacting anyone!! OOps!)

So the Sunday was spent recovering and more sightseeing around the area. Michelle McGimpsey, Kerri and i headed up to Plas Newyyd for a look around and ran into a game of Viking Kub. What fun we had knocking down logs and it must've been beginners luck as we won the game!!

The service went for a halfhour after which we were able to sign the guest register and have some coffee and ANZAC biscuit.
