Last weekend saw us jetting off on a plane, yes a plane to Italy for Frans wedding. It didn't start to well with Martha having a tummy bug which then got passed on to myself and Liam for the Saturday before the wedding, nice. On the upside Martha being ill the day we travelled meant she fell asleep during take off stayed asleep most of the flight and then on the landing she was asleep- great stuff.
We were in Italy for 5 days but stayed in a hotel, wouldn't do that again with children- no facilities whatsoever!! Not even a kettle!! Makes life a lot more difficult, I would definitely get some sort of apartment next time. Day 1 was travelling, Martha being ill and then going round to Frans for a bite to eat later on and meet some of Roddy's family (I think we became honary members while we were there!).
Day 2 we went to the beach, the weather was nice and the beach was empty, Fran later said it was too early- if it was this country week or weekend the beach would have been a heck of a lot busier! That evening we got invited out to dinner with Fran, Roddy and quite a lot of Roddy's family. It was lovely and Martha had a very late night but coped with it- I think it was 11.00 we got home possibly even later.
Day 3- Liam and myself ill- nice!
Day 4 Wedding day, what a lovely day, the weather was even warmer and it was just perfect fro Fran and Roddy. The wedding wasn't till 4.30 and after the service it was a bit of an eating marathon, tons of canapes, then 3 savoury courses followed by cake! The last savoury course was a steak and that came out at about 11.00- I had gone to bed with Martha at that point, she was tired and I was knackered to put it mildly! It was a lovely being at an Italian/ Scottish wedding, I think there was a lot of Britishness in it and only a little Italian- that being the food!!!
Fran and Roddy both looked amazing and every time I go to a wedding I wish it could be mine again!! Crazy or what!
Day 5 BBQ at Frans parents . Yet an even warmer day- possibly too hot dare I say it, it was one of those days you need to be doing nothing by a pool! It was great to see everyone from the day before and go over the days events.
Day 6 Home to rainy England!! with delays! Martha was very good for the flight home, we were delayed already and then piled onto the plane to find out we were going to be stuck there for another hour before we could even taxi to take off! Martha managed to fall asleep before take off so missed that part again and during landing she just looked out of the window! What a little star!
I am going to put more pics on Liams website but here are a couple from the day, incl Martha at Heathrow airport off on her travels.
Also meant to mention that it was also great to see Jo, John and Tony and meet his girlfriend Vanessa.
