Made it to the train station in Glasgow with 2 minutes to spare last Thursday! Phew! So that meant things were on track to get to my cousin Gail's wedding on Friday.
The colour theme was a happy pink and orange, and everybody at the wedding was at good spirits to match. One of the highlights of the day was the speedy walk down the aisle by Gail and her dad. No point dilly-dallying with these things.
Charlie, Gail's new husband, is from a large Greek family, and so we had some Greek dancing during the reception. When the Greek music came on, the dance floor divided into two. The English people formed a big circle, arms around wastes, moving in and out - this must have been what they considered to be Greek dancing. The Greek folk, however, were doing entirely different moves - foot stomping, bowing etc. Quite amusing. There was no plate smashing.
After the wedding I went to stay with my cousin Lucy and her family. Had a nice relaxing time there, and after 24 hours I think I reached the point where her daughter Rosie, who is 11 months old, wouldn't burst into tears when I picked her up. We bonded over food.
Now I am staying with my friend Mandy in London. I spent most of yesterday trying to sort out visas for China and Mongolia. Today I'm meeting up with a couple of friends for lunch and have an exciting event on tonight. We are going to see Mel C (yes, from the Spice Girls) on the stage in Blood Brothers.
