Over the Christmas break we went away with some of my boyfriends friends. We went and stayed in a converted barn near a place called Ludlow. It was wonderful. We went last year as well and this year there were 16 of us.
The first night we had spaghetti and Ikea meatballs for tea and hung out together catching up and having a few drinks.
It is such a charming place to stay with real log fires that need to be lit and checked and two huge living rooms. One is stocked with board games, old films and books!
The floors are mainly wood and stone which I had forgotten when packing! A lot of our friends brought animal onesies to keep warm. There was giraffe, red panda and a monkey and then for fakemas dinner out came the Santa and Mrs Claus Onesies! I was very jealous.
Then in the morning some of us headed into Ludlow for Sausage sandwiches and a walk before having a huge fakemas dinner for tea in the beautiful barn.
Some of the lovely ladies had lit candles and there was a huge row of tea lights running along the back wall. It would be the perfect place for a really intimate wedding reception.
We had a great time at dinner, everyone was able to sit around and chat and noone was in a rush to get up and do things. Later we all got dressed up and took part in a murder mystery. (Last year when we did this we were practically stranded due to the bad snow!!)
The Second Living Room! Complete with guns and foam darts. The boys terrorise us with these all weekend!
Unfortunately for some of us the weekend ended on Sunday when had to return to London for work so on Sunday morning we got up and had bacon and eggs before heading to a local castle called Stokesay (technically a fortified manor house) for a bit of an explore.
I had such a great weekend and just wanted to share some photos with you of our brilliant break and the wonderful people we shared it with.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and got to do some fun stuff with your friends!
