Chilling Out

I am really looking forward to this weekend! The last three have been tied up with Ochre & Ocre, from photoshoots to shows, life certainly hasn't been boring. But this weekend is my annual get together with three of my closest girlfriends. Glenys I've known from my pre school years, as we grew up on the same lane! Amy and Mary were best friends from school, and we've kept in touch ever since.
It is an annual event, and over the past few years we've got together once a year at a nice hotel in different places from the Cotswolds, to Dublin. But like everyone else we are tightening our belts and having our weekend at home, budget style!
We are having a few luxuries though - I am soooo looking forward to the Aveda treatment at Halcyon Beauty in Leamington Spa. It is a lovely little salon, run by two friends - it is intimate, relaxing and always welcoming. We are then going to be ladies who lunch somewhere in Leamington Spa, then returning here for a few glasses of vino, some simple Italian food, (with the finest table linens of course!), and some very cool chick flicks. The only issue is which one will we watch first: Dirty Dancing / My Best Friends Wedding / Bridget Jones.....
