So, this is what happened on our trip to York...

So we drove for over 5 hours on Friday evening, and made it to York around 8.30pm. Gideon's grandparents had waited up for us to have dinner, and we have an extremely pleasant traditional meal of Friday fish and chips. Our plan for the weekend was to spend some time with Gideon's grandparents, and spend Saturday being tourists in York. Instead, the weekend ended being a little more subdued.





We had a glass of champagne with dinner. I don't know if it was the champagne or something else I had eaten that day, but shortly after dinner, I fainted in the kitchen, banging the back of my head on the floor and giving Gideon's Gran a right scare. After that it was straight to bed for me to sleep off that alchohol nausea that I sometimes get. That night wasn't much fun. I couldn't get comfortable, and I had a pounding headache, and throwing up was definitely on the cards. Unfortunately, what was to be a lovely weekend away, improved only slightly. I spent the rest of the weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself and nursing a sore head.

What a sorry state of affairs. Anyway, for those who are worried, I'm feeling much better now. Very big thanks to Gideon's grandparents and Gideon for taking good care of me this weekend. I'm almost back to normal except for a headache and a black eye!


This is me this morning...
It's like instant makeup!!

By the way, how cool is this top that I'm wearing. Huge hugs and kisses to the Haynes (Andrew, Katherine and cute little Zoe) for bringing it all the way from Boston! Here's a close up of what it says on it:

You poor love! Hope you are feeling much better & avoiding the champagne, at least for a little while!

Stu's trip to Malaysia was a success & we celebrated with a weekend down in the yarra valley. All well this end xx

OH no!!! I hope you're feeling better and your eye/head has healed! Champagne goes to my head too - but more in the usual lobster-red way!

That shirt is uber-cute by the way =D

Thanks for your comments guys - don't worry - I think I will avoid any alcohol for quite a while. Probably something I should have done ages ago. Hope you are all well, and enjoying life!

love g
