Had a great weekend with everyone at Tipiwest for my stag do. Not long now until the big day and no better way to say goodbye to them batchelor days than a few nights around the camp fire having a pow-wow with friends. Some of the guys I haven’t seen for a while, some of the filmies, so old friends from work, mixed in with the regulars. We finally escaped work at 5 on the dot and the heavens opened up with the spill that everyone who went to Glastonbury had just endured. It took a while to get out onto the motorway and then plain sailing all the way to Wales, through the mist on top of the hills and along winding lanes to TipiWest. The Tipi’s looked quite beautiful in the late night mist and after a few drinks we settled in. Each Tipi was snug and warm with a fire in the middle that crackled throughout the night. When we got up it seemed quite magical and after a hearty breakfast we walked to the beach. Only a few of us were foolhardy enough to jump in the sea, and it was cold, but you prickled with heat as you got out, feeling healthy and glowing. The evening was spent in classic stag mode with a ruby and a few drinks, and everyone was keen to return to the Tipi’s and enjoy the night around the open fire. We slept late and woke up slowly, breakfast, then a few at a time, people threw stuff into the cars and left. Got back late evening feeling really good – what a great weekend. Ta guys – ’till next time.
Its just an observation, but stag do’s are getting quite mellow, whilst Hen parties are getting more raucous. My woman is off to Brighton and Southampton in one day. I hear “Crazy Nights…” as I type this.
Guys – if any of you have any photos – let me know and I’ll put them up. I keep meaning to open a Flickr account. I will get it sorted.
