Puzzlewood

Perfect sweet-toothed end to a perfect day yesterday. 

My lovely friends Cassie, Sean and li'le Ryanman came to visit for the weekend. Hadn't seen them in a year and a half. Was working up to a trip to London to check out their pad, but they beat me to it.

Cassie and I have been friends since uni, and her husband used to work with Brighton Phil, who I went around Australia with. When they got married, Phil was a witness and I was a bridesmaid. They're such a bunch of rockers. We wore red, with black nail varnish and black jewelry. Instead of a band, they hired a jukebox and filled it with heavy metal. Best. Wedding. Ever.

Little sad because, next month, our housemate from years back is getting married. I was hoping for a big reunion of the gang, but seems I'll be the only one free. Perhaps we'll do a London get together in the future.

We had a lovely day in the Forest of Dean. Went to Puzzlewood, which is an oldy worldy natural woodland maze. They've filmed Merlin and Doctor Who there.

A creepy, beautiful, magical place. Even though it was the hottest day of the year, it was lovely and cool in the mossy woods.

Came back to Gloucester, took a wander around the docks and had dinner at Pizza Express.

It was sooo hot, we almost melted. 

Sad to see them go this morning. Ryan had a go on the piano before he left, and we reckon there's potential there. Hmm... a ginger piano player... reminds me of someone.
