garstang country hotel & golf club
obviously very small scale compared to the grand balls for all manchester medics (which i suppose i should attend at some point) since this was only for those based in preston, but it was an intimate affair and quite enjoyable to be honest. well ceilidh was fun at the very least.
with eleanor and massywassy. i look funny here - think i was talking to whoever who took this picture. for the record i wasn't digging my nose.
mary, eleanor, neil, me, becky at our table.
my seat. had salad (spelled as sald on my place card), chicken and mousse. nothing fancy schmancy.
people! with eleanor, andy, jon, massy (extremely lousy picture but i kinda like it!)
more people! with diana, eleanor + wilfred, becky
my first ceilidh! loved it. sprained my neck and arm during (actually my neck was already sprained before the ball - while asleep); had a couple of bruises; had people step on my feet (took off my shoes cos it was just impossible to ceilidh in heels); swung 360 degrees in the air by some of the crazy guys - but very very fun!!
massy, me and eleanor with our complimentary cocktails
i realise i don't have a full length picture of me, but this is the closest one to a full length. aww :( at least you can see my shoes. by the way don't you love massy's princess-like dress?! so gorgeous ;)
for those who are curious: my dress was tailor-made back home which i wore to a wedding once. shoes were from aldo, which is my current favourite shoe brand. you should see my house - tr said it looks like an aldo shoe store with all the boxes stacked up at the front door. well what can i say. their shoes are pretty and VERY comfortable. clutch (not in the picture) was from french connection. ear-rings and necklace from swarovski. bracelet from korea. make-up by yours truly and hair was au naturale. hahaha.
