What a weekend!!

I absolutely love fireworks and to my delight I went to 2 displays over the weekend for Bonfire Night.
On Friday night we were babysitting and took our niece Louise to see the display her dad Gary was helping out with. This was at someones farm (I keep forgetting whose and where!). The 2nd was at Mayer Park, just around the corner from where we live.
Now, we have seen the most amazing fireworks ever and these were in Sydney, Oz last New Years Eve (see pic). However, they didn't last very long and my joy at seeing fireworks was short lived and needless to say was slightly disappointed. So, when the length of both fireworks displays outlasted the Oz Experience I was over the moon.
Fireworks at the wedding?.....Sign me up!!

In between the joy of fireworks, on Sat Liz came with me to view our wedding venue and 'The Dress'. First stop was the venue and again it was a lovely day, which only confirmed my feelings that this place is IT. I also needed a girlfriends perspective and Liz was great, complementing in all the right places! Next stop was the dress shop where they stocked 'The Dress', which I had fallen in love with oh so long ago in Australia. To my disappointment back then, I was told via email that the dress would cost between £14,000 and £16,000 (see June's Blog). After trying 'The Dress' on I fell in love with it again and when the shop assisstant wrote down the price, I realised that the price on the email must have been a typo (too many noughts) and I can now afford it. HURRAY, WOO HOO, YEAH, CRY (tears of joy this time!!)
Only problem now though is that I've decided to still try on other dresses and they look good as well, Noooo. Too much choice, don't like it!

Anyway, I had a great first wedding 'expedition' and hope there will be many more to come. Liz has also restored my faith in friendship, which had been slightly dented, so a HUGE thank you.
