Aug 23

We've all been up since 4am but we're still smiling!

08230001

But, let's face it, Edinburgh airport isn't that interesting,

08230002

... particularly when the hen has lost a Kate-chick and is getting worried.

08230003

But once we're in the pub everything's okay. More and more people arrive, British Rail has not caused any disasters, let the fun begin!

08230005

Lunch is hard to find, but we'll do anything for Sar, even sitting on pavements amongst cigarette ends.

08230007

Sarah wonders whether her sister knows that she's taking a picture of herself in a mirror.

08230008

Shellie can't think what to text .....

08230009

It's a hard life.

08230010

Heather wins the prize for the longest journey (10 hours) and getting up the earliest (about 1am).

08230011

The West End Hostel Salon is open for business!

08230012

But I'm allergic to feathers.....

08230013

and I don't think these will help.....

08230014

Will Edinburgh survive? At least there's no problem deciding what to wear.

08230015

I love my sis!.

08230016

Happy hour, happy hour,

08230017

Sar gets advice from an old married woman.

08230018

A gift from Past-times - now she knows why she left.

08230020

Sarah tries not to have a snow-white moment with the vicious combs on her veil.

08230021

Shall I drink this cocktail or would I prefer the lovely peach concord that Nina has bought me to evoke fond memories of another dinner party? Perhaps I'll open the sun-dried tomatoes too...

08230022

I'm too sexy for my shirt.

08230023

Such a refined group of girls....

08230025

and a very excitable waiter,

08230027

who possibly regrets telling us we can dance on the table,

08230029

although Cath is more interested in her flower.

08230028

Possibly the only moment of the evening when he wasn't smiling.

08230030

Sarah tries some of her hen tasks on an unsuspecting stag party. Sadly they are very dull.

08230031

Fireworks from the castle on the way home.

08230037

And more fireworks.

08230039

08230042

08230043

Ooh!

08230044

Ah!

08230045

Hmm. I'm sure they were better than this when I took them. Perhaps it was the wine goggles? Just be thankful I deleted most of the firework pictures.

Me and my little sis!

08240006

All the people Sarah has incited to leave places where she's worked.

08240007

Copy Requests

I make no apology for the silly remarks under the photos. Feel free to ignore them if they offend. Email me with any requests for the larger original photos at 1024x768 resolution. Don't forget to give me the photo number. No, I'm not publishing my email address here! Everyone who is likely to look at these has it already or knows someone else who has it. It will only lead to lots of spam and perverts requesting photos (I kid you not - it has happened before but the guy went away when I told him I was a psychiatrist).
