Rock climbing with the girls

We decided to have a girlie day out rock climbing, hanging out at the pub and enjoying the south bank celebrations!
lui, yen, juliet, yvette and I tested our mettle hanging from walls then tested our endurance in a 4 hour session in the pub. we managed to force gelato down afterwards too.
later that night, we ended up in front of the Tate Modern where a fire festival was in full swing - fire everywhere! so cool!

My Birthday getaway!

Joe treated me to a weekend getaway from London for my birthday! We stayed at a beautiful spa hotel and each got two treatments to relax us before the chaos November will be for us!
The hotel was set in the countryside, surrounded by beautiful manor houses. We took walks, slept, had massages, played tennis, and even went running. We managed to be very productive which helped work off the lovely food!
We also stopped in at Stratford Upon Avon to see where Shakespeare lived - lovely town!
