On Thursday I went for what must have been the BEST hot chocolate in the world, at 'The a Curious Cafe' on Bath Road in Cheltenham. I've been there before for breakfast (which also comes highly recommended), but the hot chocolate was immense. It came in a mug - just how it should be, with a mountain of whipped cream, a dusting of chocolate, mini marshmallows AND giant chocolate buttons! Calorific, but splendid! And as always, from The Curious Cafe, reasonable prices. 
On Friday it was time for a wedding. We were invited to the ceremony and the evening to, and had some time to kill in the middle of the day. So what do you do between a wedding with 6 hours to kill... Go wakeboarding of course! I decided that it was not a good idea for me to mess up the already done hair and make up, so left it to the boys, but it was great fun to watch! They went to 'Thorpe Water Ski', which was a lovely setting with reasonable prices, however the instructors weren't great. My boyfriend asked a few times for tips, as he had only been once before a long time ago, and they were not really offering anything. So I think next time we would try somewhere else (in the middle of a wedding of course!).
On our way back to the evening ceremony, we went to 'The Queen's Head' in Send, Surrey, which was such a great shout. The chips were incredible, and I had a burger with cheese and bacon which was rather yummy! The burger was homemade, with a lovely strong cheddar and minimal fat on the bacon, perfect! It is definitely somewhere I would like to revisit and spend an evening at, there's lovely views and great food, although it is a little pricey (approx £15-£20 per main course, not huge amounts but higher end for pub food). The wedding was great, it was in a field with a huge teepee tent, felt like a mini festival and there was lots of drinking and dancing, exactly what you want from a wedding. Portaloo toilets topped it all off! The tent looked like about 3 huge tents made together, with a dance floor, bar and lots of tables. And what an original idea for a wedding cake - a cake of cheese! It had lots of different layers which were all different cheeses, which were great as everyone had a cheese board at their table (although I imagine they now have lots left over!) the bride, naturally, looked stunning, and the groom was wearing his family tartan which suited him to perfection.
So today I sit here writing this, slightly tired and hung over, eating the healthiest food in the world (a sandwich and hash browns!) watching the kardashians. Sounds like a perfect hangover Sunday, except it's not Sunday at all, it's Saturday night and in approx 2 hours I need to be glammed up for a cocktail evening with the girls... Agh! Looks like I'm in for an unhealthy, long weekend. Ahh well, gin here I come!
