Hi everyone,
Haven't been on ish much recently because about about 5 weeks ago I experienced the most stressful thing I have ever experienced. More stressful even than moving house. I was preparing for my wedding, and then four weeks ago today got married!
I had an eco wedding at a lovely place called Sheepdrove http://www.sheepdrove.com/ which is an organic farm and eco conference centre.
My wedding dress was made by my sister from organic silk, the food was all grown on the farm and was organic, we had organic beers, ciders and wines, I made soap for the favours, the flowers were all seasonal and the wedding cake was organic.
It was brilliant.
This was followed my a most unethical trip to Italy but it was brilliant and a once in a lifetime trip.
But anyway I am back now and trying to get back into the ish swing of things.
Helen

Re: Back!
Congrats Hellsbells - that must have taken quite some organising 
- I mean weddings do anyway but all the ethical/organic part of it too. Well done! Hope you had a fabulous time in Italy.

Re: Back!
Thanks so much everyone you are all lovely.
The allotment was terrible when we got back because I hadnt been there for about 2 months, it was totally overgrown, I couldnt even see where the beds were. Its looking much better now, will try to post some pics.

Lovely to have you back.
Lovely to have you back.
I took my dog to play frisbee. She was useless. I think I need a flatter dog.

Re: Back!
Woo hoo - congratulations! - On the wedding not the weeds! 
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
