Happy Birthday Georgie

A few weeks ago now, summer decided to grace us with her presence, the clouds cleared and the sun shone through, and timing couldn't have been more perfect as it was my best friends twenty first Birthday!! In order to celebrate we didn't waste anytime stripping down and jumping in the pool. After hours of swimming races and volleyball it was time to de-prune with an afternoon of food, drink and ball games on the lawn. Old and new friends combined with family old and young adding to the beauty of twenty first birthdays.

I acted as photographer for the day, so here are a few of the hundreds of photos I took on this beautiful summers day.

The beautiful birthday girl and her Sisters.

Then the drinking / spinning portion of the afternoon began...

It definitely provided amusement for us, however no one else volunteered to participate.

French Cricket...

Gymnastics anyone? What is it about the sunshine that makes everyone so energetic...

There are not enough words to say how much this girl means to me... Happy Birthday to my gorgeous bestie!! 

Le Bistrot Pierre

We have finished our second year of university, and a celebration is definitely in order. Me and my best friends from university decided to get dressed up and head down to The Royal William Yard for dinner and drinks to celebrate our hard work, before the chaos and craziness of a night out on North Hill. 

The weather was glorious, so I took my big camera to take some shots at my favourite spot in the yard...

Striking some model poses...

What can I say, Sarah has missed her calling...

I would just like to take a moment to admire my beautiful friend... 

seriously... WOWSA!!!

We trotted around the corner to Le Bistrot Pierre for their student two course saver special. This includes a starter and a main for £13... one of the mains is a steak, which had got my tastebuds going. 

Time for some much needed celebratory wine... *Clink*

We laughed, chatted and gossiped. For the first time in months we didn't talk about University work, it was beautifully refreshing - as was the wine. 

Some food may be a good idea too... Heart shaped bread snaps.

I had the calamari with tasty garlic mayonnaise to start...

And for the main event, a succulent steak with a peppercorn butter... I could barely control my saliva.

It was fantastic, a real bargain for such delicious food.

The company was pretty great too.

Now to party and celebrate on the town, needless to say the rest of the evening wasn't quite so civilised!!
