During the middle of the week I took a trip to Dedham where I went for a walk along the river with my other half and watched/laughed at everyone who was trying to row a boat. For those that don't know, Dedham is an extremely beautiful village in Essex where you can hire rowing boats. What a lovely day it was and the weather was so warm. I fell asleep next to the river!
The end of my week turned into a somewhat erratic and restless but yet amazing time. On the Friday I attended my firm's summer party. The firm hosted an evening of golf, hog roast and drinks which was very nice. It gave us a chance to socialise outside of the office and put a good end to the week.
I had to leave the party early. As I had mentioned in my previous post, I had been told by my other half that I was going somewhere for the night but I had no idea what I was doing. It wasn't until 11pm on Friday night that I was told that I needed to wake up at 5am on Saturday because I was being taken to Paris for the weekend!
Well of course by this point there was no chance of me being able to sleep. I must have managed about 2-3 hours maximum. I was too excited, I didn't think I would be taken abroad!
So Saturday came and we were rushing around to get to London to get the Eurostar. The weekend was absolutely amazing. As we weren't there for long, our main activities involved visiting the Eiffel Tower and taking a cruise along the river. I even felt brave and tried some snails, much more enjoyable than you would think!
What a blast I had, it all went so quickly. I arrived back home at 11pm Sunday night so my first day back at work felt extremely long. But I've caught the holiday bug now, and the next trip is in the process of being booked.
