Charlotte Prom and Crazy Bear Garden Party

Friday – Charlotte’s prom – all her friends turned up to our house and gradually her list of people coming got bigger and bigger and bigger! Obviously it was only a couple of drinks but it ended up about 40-odd children, many we didn’t even know. Everyone looked great and made such an effort. The lads all smart and the girls all in their nice dresses – it was exciting for them. Tash was making Vodka cocktails and I was handing out beers and loads of photos were taken.

I think they’d have been quite happy to have stayed out ours as it was nice weather and everyone was enjoying the atmosphere but they needed to leave to walk up to the hotel at the top of the road – all of them went and it looked great walking through the village. It went really well! Her mates all liked it as a pre-party and had said to her how surprised they were that me and Tash were handing out the booze – but in an hour they weren’t going to get hammered were they?

Picked Charlotte up the next morning – she was struggling – very tired! She’d only been asleep for an hour or two – unfortunately she said the prom didn’t really live up to expectations, the food and atmosphere was all a bit flat and they joking said it all started on a high at ours and went downhill as the night wore on. But she said it was good so I am pleased about that and she enjoyed herself and it was memorable.

Sounds like it could have been better – ah well.

Saturday was the garden party at The Crazy Bear. Jack had karate and Tash was working at a wedding so I picked her up about 3.30pm when it was over and we went over to Stadhampton for 4.00pm, saw a few people we knew and met up with John and Pauline and Julie and Mark and then had a good time relaxing and eating and drinking. We were in VIP section so that was a treat – as much of food and drink as we wanted and waiter service. So that was good! Music was fun, Stacey Solomon was there, as were JLS and Fun Loving Criminals. It was good, could have been better but they ruined it in the end as they had a great disco feeling going on and then at 11.00pm they stuck on some hill billy act and they were utter shit – completely killed the mood. Just because they’ve been at Glastonbury and it cleared the place – we left early at midnight.

Sunday – worked all day, either on customer work or raising invoices.

A really enjoyable weekend all told.
