We put the tent up and then one of the poles snapped- we had to fix it with sellotape as thats the only kind of tape the campsite shop had- although it did hold all weekend.
On the Saturday afternoon we met up with Beca, Emma, Josh and Katie for the funfair and a BBQ on the beach- unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side! It was really windy all day and as soon as we tried to light the BBQ it was grey and started to rain!
Luckily as we were camping we had loads of blankets to everyone was warm and dry even if we did look like a load of refugees by the time Jay, Trist and Cat arrived later in the evening!
We decamped to the pub for some warming cups of tea and cake, and spent the evening catching up.
On Sunday Traff and I drove into Merthyr for breakfast- at Franky and bennys! You can have pancakes and blueberry ice cream!
Sold!
We text Jay, Josh and Trist as they all live locally for things to do- Jay suggested we forgo a foray into the rain and come over for tea.
So we did.
Then we headed into Cardiff for James and Lis's wedding rehersal and for the boys to try on their suits. Sah and I had a moochy afternoon and played with Alice.
After the rehearsal we went and had chinese at Jays, We ended up staying the night, as the weather was awful and we didn't fancy testing the strength of the sellotape.
In the morning, we followed him to work- And then carried on into cardiff to see Sah and Dan- We took Alice swimming in the pool with the slides in Cardiff bay- and we took it i turns to sneak off and have a go on the grown up slides too!
On Monday night Traff and I went back to Porthcawl and had chips on the beach for tea.
After dinner, we walked down to trecco bay.
And then drove out to port talbot to see the steelworks. They have an interesting smell all of their own!
On Tuesday we packed up the tent and drove back into Cardiff in time to have a cooked breakfast at Sah and Dans- The boys went to spend James's last day of freedom with him- so Sah and I had a lazy day and in the evening Jay come over and we had pizza and a catch up.
All very studenty.
Wednesday was wedding day- the boys were all part of the wedding party, so Sah and I had time to get ready in peace and drive to the church.
We even had time to buy sweets from the garage, as somehow we'd forgotten to have lunch as we were so busy trying to get everyone ready!
After the church, we headed out towards Caerphilly for the reception- the views were stunning!
The reception was held in a marquee at the back to the new house country hotel, so we got to look at the awesome views all evening!
James and Lis had also hired a string quartet who played covers of pop music- which was quite cool- and a bit different!
The speech from Dan and Traff went well- and dinner was yummy- especially the cake!
At the reception, Alice invented her new favourite game- "Hit uncle Traff in the face with a shoe"
Funny for everyone else
:D
