Wedding Venues And Leeks!

I think we have finally sorted out a wedding venue! We looked around quite a lot and were down to two options, a castle hotel and a village hall. Both very different but nice in their own ways. We visited the village hall a couple of weeks ago and it was great as we were told we were welcome to come and have a look around on the Saturday but strictly after 6pm as, before that time, they would be judging the village leek competition! How brilliant is that? I am definitely a proper country girl now that I have been to the local vegetable growing contest.

So, we went to have a look round Whitfield Village Hall (at 7pm just in case the judging was very tough and went on a bit) and all the veggies were laid out for all to admire. The smell was amazing! I didn't know whether taking pictures was allowed but people seemed to be happy that I was taking the odd snap. Maybe it was their proud produce that I was capturing! It wasn't just leeks either...









Well, the village hall turned out to be too small in the end and would have taken a lot of planning and organisation on our part. Especially as most of our friends and family live far way and wouldn't be able to help out easily. So we are hopefully going for the castle. We have a meeting tomorrow and then, all being well, we will have a wedding to go to! Good job really seeing as I have already ordered my dress and found some amazing shoes. Woo hoo!

Storeyshop Twitters

Okay, so I have done it. I have signed up and I have twittered. I'm not sure what to do now. I have found a few people to follow from Company magazine, where I used to work, and clicked to follow Phillip Schofield (and a few other celebrities who get their PA's to twitter for them now again). Is that it? Is it just lots and lots of twitters? No photos or anything else at all? Maybe I just haven't embraced it fully but I think I might be bored of it already.

My twitter name is Storeyshop. When I first tried to register, Storeyshop was taken and I got all stroppy. Then I tried resetting the password for that username in case it was me and I'd just forgotten. It was. How bad is that, that I can't even remember? I think I nabbed it in the very early days just in case the name got taken. Anyway, it will be me twittering and it won't be all boring Storeyshop promoting so please follow me!

Today I have made and posted 5 card orders and made a few new cards which will be coming soon. Dave has taken the laptop to work today which has Photoshop on so no photo editing until tomorrow but that's probably for the best. I have a painful neck which I think is from sitting at the computer too long. Probably all the online scrolling through shopping pages! I should probably have a break from typing now too so I will leave you with a couple of new 'I love you more than...' cards I made a few days ago.







Have a lovely evening everyone and remember, there's still time to enter my free giveaway for a personalised Storeyshop card of your choosing! Read down to Mondays post for more details. All you have to do is follow this blog, join my Facebook group or comment on the prize draw post. I'll be doing the very grand prize draw tomorrow afternoon!
