Hen Hiatus!

This weekend was Camilla's hen 'do'. I managed to organise, book and co-ordinate a trip to Oxford for ten lovely ladies with the key word being 'Classy'.
It has been a marathon weekend having driven to Worcester on Friday after work, slept for 6 hours, caught a train to Oxford somewhere gained another 6 and a half hours sleep, caught a train back to Worcester and then driven back to Croydon.
First panic of the weekend happened fifteen minutes after we were due to meet at the station: NO BRIDE, not answering mobile or land line - awful of images of hen in diabetic coma unable to be roused sprung into my mind. Actual cause was hangover and Bride made late entrance looking shame-faced in time to board train. All dressed in Yellow we bundled onto the 10.13 to London Paddington.
Brunch and Buck's (or should that be Hen's) Fizz went down a treat and passed the hour long journey brilliantly - thanks to Lil Sis for sourcing the plastic champagne glasses. Oxford Backpackers Hostel was five minutes walk, small and friendly - would recommend for short stay.
Our boat trip was just wonderful. Thanks to Giles at Oxford river cruises who even managed to accommodate our request for a place serving a cup of tea!
After a nap - yes I know sleeping is cheating - we all glammed up for an evening out in Oxford. Only one negative experience ensued with a large bouncer who had an elevated sense of his own importance. A good night was had by all with the last falling into bed at 4.30 am! oh yes we beat the boys!
The weather turned on us by Sunday but bleary eyed we trudged through the rain for a yummy brekkie, followed by a quiet and reflective train ride home.
Here's hoping the wedding goes as smoothly and the weather bucks it's ideas up.
