The Hag Do



Here are all the Hag Do (joint Hen and stAG Do) survivors! Thanks to our friends for helping to organise our fun weekend. We all arrived in Brecon, Wales on Friday night for a get-together and some different activities. The Hens were pampered at Peterstone Court (my first visit to a spa) while the Stags were more adventurous and opted for paintballing followed by clay pigeon shooting.



Akansha represented the rest of the girls in our absence, keeping up with Jon with his military experience on her first go at clay pigeon shooting.



Jon introduced everyone to the delights of croquet, an underated sport that impressed people into playing rounds well into darkness.



A fantastic spread was laid out... showing Kate and Kirsty's talent at baking and the boys' barbeque skills.





We didn't get off entirely, we were tested at how well we knew each other with a game of 'Mr and Mrs'...



On Sunday most of the group went on a canoe trip down the Wye River which ended up being a bit wet and wild. I led a smaller team on to Haye-on-Wye where the Literary Festival was in full swing and we enjoyed a huge brass band playing jazz in the marketplace and some tea at the Bone China tearoom.



Right. We are off to bed for an early night to recover. See you soon, hens and stags!

It would be fun to get all dressed up like Alice and play that game.
Not too long now, wonderful pictures and beautiful memories.
We are all so eager for you!
