Greetings all, Thursday afternoon came really quickly didn’t it? Well, that was because I finished Thursday morning only about 2 minutes ago here on Saturday. Confused? Please do keep up…..
Thursday evening was, as you can imagine, kind of slow after the night before. We spent the night in the Kirkstile Inn, a super pub with a dinner of Stilton and Spinach Vegetarian Lasagna and beer. Bedtime was at 9pm though….ouch.
Friday dawned, and yes it was still raining. Did you expect anything else? Kippers for breakfast, cooked by yours truly, and then we had an appointment with the photographers to keep. They are located in Bowness on Windermere, and like everything else, having booked them two years ago, I was really eager to finally meet up. We had a great meeting with them. We clicked (ha ha…pun intended) straight away and spent just over two hours chatting and going over the day. Steven and Josh were so great to be with and I can’t wait to see their work. I spent ages looking at wedding photographers, and was thrilled with what they had done for others, and even more excited that they were available. They have done a number of Civil Partnerships before for women, but we are to be their first male CP couple. I hope we do a good job for them as well! There is a chance that as long as we don’t both look like trolls in the final images that they may use us in advertising. Fame at last! It is an honour to maybe be able to help out such great photographers and really nice people. If you haven’t done so, check out their website at http://www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk/
Afterwards, as it was still raining (surprise!) we stopped off at our Florist and picked up our quote for flowers. We then decided to continue the hunt for shoes. Having checked out many Marks and Spencer’s stores and finding shoes that we liked, but that were not available in our size, we headed to Carlisle. There, at last we got shoes sorted, so our wedding outfits are now complete! Such fun!
Then of course it was time for dinner. Having had Kippers for breakfast, Sausage and Chips/Fries for lunch, Scones and James for just after lunch (at Brambles in Windermere for those who watched “The Lake” on telly last year), and chocolate for after an “after scone” treat We really didn’t feel like eating much. So we went to a fabulous pub in Cockermouth called “The Bitter End” (Alan and & Phil, this is a great place if you are looking for some good beer and top tucker when you arrive in a few weeks). The dinner menu looked so good that we are now booked for Saturday night there….One pint later, we were off to The Wheatsheaf in Lorton for our second pint before bed. Such a busy day!
And now it is Saturday. We are back up to date! Sitting here in Keswick drinking coffee and typing has been quite relaxing. It feels weird not to have to be going somewhere and meeting somebody. So today is to be a relaxing day. Yes, it is still raining, which is a little annoying as I have had no chance to take any pictures since we got here. Some photographer eh? Still our days have been plenty busy as you, dear reader, have seen. Walking/Hiking has also been non-existent too. I have no problem in getting the waterproofs out while in the middle of a hike, but starting out in a downpour is far less appealing. Hopefully that will all change soon, as we need a few walks to help with the waistline after all this food!
So, there we have it. We hope that all are well. Not sure when the next update will be, but watch this space! We’ll be back soon!
Big Love to all,
D&J
