X Raited.

1. Over to the Citz to meet Alison and Karen. Town is a little buzzy as the torch is coming through and we are a little buzzy as we are heading away for for Helen's hen weekend.

2. The trip toRait is catered for with Monster Munch and Fruitella. We arrive just as the first cork is being popped. I have an instinct for that kind of thing.

3. What a gorgeous place. My mouth hangs open as we take the tour. There's a minstrels gallery for god's sake. It's stunning and a treat to sit outside for a BBQ dinner.

4. I do like people who own a dressing up box. We crack out the costumes (here's the next big girl band) and play some games.

5. An ace night, lovely company, lovely place, lovely food, lovely prizes and some great stories.
