I have decided to write a little fun post about an amazing weekend I had at the end of January. Finally! It was my big sisters hen-do, with all 4 of my sisters and a couple of her mates hitting the big city of Edinburgh. After a small shift in the office I could not wait to hop on the train and join the rest in our rented apartment, have an excuse to wear a "Hen Do" sash and get our wine on. Also.. let's just appreciate how lovely the place was (considering how little we paid and the perfect location).
So... our first night it was just my sisters and I. A few glasses of wine they said, a civilised dinner out they said. OH HOW WRONG WERE WE? Amy-Beth, (figures, she's the wild one) had secretly ordered a buff butler to come and entertain us and last minute he decides to bring along his friend. So.. two buff butlers. Not only were they pleasing on the eye, wow they knew how to get us drunk. 7 bottles of wine, prosecco, strange drinking games, spin the bottle and about 50 shots later we were all 10 times more drunk than anticipated and knew a lot more intimate details about each other than probably needed.
Bear in mind, we had reservations at a fancy restaurant/cocktail bar which we were far too drunk for. We made it anyway, although not much was eaten, we were in no way classy and possessions were lost. I won't say much more, but inevitably the night ended with me waking up with a mouth like the Sahara desert spooning my sister in our underwear. Great first night!!
The next day we dragged ourselves out of our pits and cured all with a fry-up from a cafe on the Royal Mile and headed to a Spa. No spa experience complete without a fluffy robe and unlimited use of the pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Treatments were a given, I chose a hot stone massage which worked wonders on my back pain and could have honestly sent me to sleep.
At around 4 we all got dressed to head to the adjacent restaurant for champagne afternoon tea... who knew the Johnson's (and friends) could be classy?! Macaroons, scones, chocolate fondue and fruit. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Saturday night then proceeded with dressing to the nine (because its Edinburgh and we can) and headed out to Vodka Revolution where we had a booth booked with yet more prosecco, cocktail and shooters. I definitely recommend Vodka Revs, the cocktails are amazing.. I can say this with confidence.. I had many. Sweet Shop, Daiquiri and Peanut Butter Martinis were a few of the favourite. As for the night, music on point with the classics, banter on point, company also on point. And the chippy on the way home (class gone downhill?) hit all the right spots.
It was so sad to go home on the Sunday and know I had Uni on the Monday. It was without a doubt one of the best, funniest and memorable weekend I've ever had. So much could not be mentioned here alone. I cannot wait for the Wedding in less than two weeks now. I may post some pictures about that too, because its, you know, the main event...
I hope you had a fabulous weekend Jenni! I love you lots and lots and neverrrr stops
(it's a family known quote of mine haha)
Until next time
