Away for the weekend
I am going down to Farnborough in Hampshire, where my girlfriend Tamsin’s parents live. I will stay there on Friday night, and then head into London on Saturday where I will probably meet up with a couple of friends, and my Dad and Sister. My Sister is going off to teach English in China on Sunday, so it will be the last time I see her for six months! And it isn’t often I get to see my Dad now that he lives down South, so that will be lovely too.
On Sunday there is a wedding in Tam’s family. I am not too sure of who is getting married, but attendance is mandatory so off I shall go. It is my third wedding this month! It’s certainly the season! Anyway, the wedding is in Ware, in Hertfordshire, which has caused much confusion and hilarity when I have attempted to explain this to people. The conversation normally goes something like this:
“Where’s the wedding?”
“Ware.”
“Yes, where?
“Ware.”
"No, I’m, asking you. Where is the wedding?!”
“Ware!”
“I don’t know! You tell me!”
“Hertfordshire.”
So, where will I be? I will be in Ware!
Until Monday night. Have a good weekend.
