I met my friend Elaine in town after work Friday afternoon, we were getting the bus to the Premier Inn in Leasowe where we were staying until Sunday. We got there about 4pm, The receptionist Lynsey was very chatty and very nice. We went to our room and I bathed and changed, we were meeting David,  Sarah and some others at the restaurant at 6:30pm. I’d ordered salmon in tagliatelle,  it was nice but I was very disappointed. I was expecting chunks of salmon but could barely see it it was a few flakes, they were so mean with it. Elaine had roast chicken dinner, I think maybe I should’ve gone for the same. Elaine and I didn’t stay at the restaurant for long after the meal, there was an atmosphere which made me very uncomfortable and had I known wouldn’t have gone. We left and went back and had a few drinks in the bar at the hotel before retiring to bed.

We got up to go for breakfast about 9am, then went  to shower and get ready for 12 noon, Elaine helped me zip up and stuff I couldn’t manage. Lynsey on reception was again very nice and very complimentary, we got a taxi to Leasowe Castle and arrived about 12:15. Everyone was in the bar so we had a drink while we waited for the ceremony at 1pm. It was very nice and David got a little emotional, so I gave him a sister rub on the back. Afterwards we had photographs taken in the grounds, it was a nice day, with sun and blue sky. The dinner was lovely, melon to start then roast pork and meringue for dessert and drinks. Then the speeches, funny and touching. Then to the bar for more drinks, it was a lovely day and nice seeing my cousins again.  David lent Elaine and I their Bridal room to change for the evening, which was nice of them, hehehe.  …. We sat with my cousins at their table in the evening reception, my cousin Fred took care of us so big thanks to him. The buffet was lovely, I don’t usually eat sandwiches but they were so nice. We had a few dances, I always enjoy that ….. At the end of the night we waited in one of the rooms downstairs for our taxi, and waited and waited….. 2hrs!!!!! I was ready to bed down on one of the sofas, it was ridiculous and put a right damper on things.

Sunday, we had a lie in, we’d cancelled breakfast and got ready for lunch instead. We went in the bar at the hotel, we had mushrooms in breadcrumbs a 16oz steak  which we couldn’t finish so had wrapped to take away. We stayed most of the afternoon, I had some vodkas and Elaine tried some different drinks. Then we got the bus back to Liverpool and had a few drinks in town….. We had a great weekend
