the first weekend of december brought a trip to london and cambridge that will now have to become annual. we took a half day and after slight flight delays, headed to the uk!
gorgeous flying weather, love the view of clouds out of my window seat
i had a great night in london with L and S. we had a great taxi ride immediately upon arrival through rush hour london traffic that included me changing outfits entirely in order to make it to the west end in time to see WICKED! it was my first time and it was amazing. i can't wait to see it again! the cast was absolutely incredible and omg i loved the story. such a good musical. then i got to rendezvous with M and had a lovely peek into her london life.
then! on saturday, i got up and out and headed to cambridge for a nostalgia-filled weekend with friends after far too long. it was the mill road winter fair and i got to see my old samba band perform (yes, i used to play drums in a samba band in cambridge) and drink in our favorite pubs. then, to top it off, that night was the arco iris (name of the samba band) christmas party!
L and R in their samba attire
after the gig and wandering around at the winter fair, having some mulled wine and pints at our fav pubs, we sauntered home to cook dinner (and more mulled wine) before getting dressed up for the theme of "white christmas" and the christmas party!
R and her amazing hat/lights combo
E! the hostess with the mostest
reunited. so fun.
an excellent venue for our shindig.
it was so good to catch up with friends that we decided i would have to venture to them next year during the first weekend of december as well. hopefully, it won't be a year until i see you all again!
