My Fabulous Weekend
I love getting away for the weekend and leaving the city. I especially love going to visit friends and family. Since I had a job interview in London on Thursday afternoon I thought I'd turn it into a little mini break and decided to head down to the Cotswalds and visit my exceptional friend Andy and his family. The interview however was three hours long and despite my best efforts at running in five inch heels and hauling a suitcase, I managed to miss my coach by about two minutes. I think I yelled something rather profane which doesn't require typing here, but needless to say I was quite pissed off. Just over an hour later, after muddling through a sweaty central tube line to Paddington Station, I managed to buy a ticket for Cheltnam Spa and was sitting in a very comfortable seat on a train, rocking my way to Stroud.
At precisely 9:15 pm I stepped off the train in Stroud and was greated by a warm summer evening and an even warmer welcome from Andy. His mother Vera was kind enough to drive us to his house in Bisley where I spent the next two days. After getting up at 4:30 that morning to get ready for travel, I was incredibly tired but great conversation kept me up for a few more hours. I managed to sleep in until 10 the next morning and was met by Andy's good friend Martin who took me on a lovely walking tour of Stroud. It was sunny and warm and was the perfect way to spend a Friday. We eventually met up with Andy and visited the local museum in the park.
Andy and I had dinner with his parents and then met up with his amazing friends at the bowling alley where I managed to get a total of five strikes all night and tied for first with Andy. His friends were really funny and welcoming. We decided to make a night of it and headed into Cheltnam to go dancing. We ended up at The Prom club and danced and drank until 2ish and then crashed at Andy's friend Pierre's house. I was feeling really sluggish by the time I got on the bus heading back to London to catch my flight. It was a great break away with my exceptional friend.
