4: bridesmaids at my sister's wedding on May 1st. Such a lovely day with lots of handmade touches, from the invitations to the church flowers to the cake.
3: days in Paris, in which 2 girls discovered that Mojitos appear to be the most popular drink in the city. To the extent where the bartender at a birthday party we attended (at which roughly 90% of the attendees had ordered the same) plaintively informed us "We do have other drinks you know..." Never ones to pass up a trend, the best ones we found were in a tiny bar on the Butte de Montmartre where the hand on the rum was liberal to say the least!
€27.20: The amount of cold hard cash we parted with in exchange for 2 ice creams and 2 lemonades on the Champs Elysees! Ah well, it was a hot day and almost worth it. :-o
2: 30th birthday parties, the last of which featured 6 birthday cakes, 2 barbecues and far too many bottles of wine to count!
2: nights at the theatre: The Tempest at the Little Angel and the wonderful Filter's Silence with the RSC at the Hampstead.
18-22: The score at our first ever rugby match my friend and I attended at Twickenham on bank holiday Saturday, which we found ourselves at entirely by chance! (Leicester Tigers v Saracens)
7: miles of the London Capital Ring walk from Wimbledon Park to Richmond completed on bank holiday Sunday. Featuring 9 intrepid walkers, of whom 4 managed to fit inside a hollow tree and it took 5 to join hands to make a ring around one of the great plane trees of London that we encountered along the way! And 3 jugs of Pimms and lemonade to refresh us afterwards. :o)
