One time which is indeed legendary, we met up in Wales for a girlie weekend. We decided to visit King Arthurs Labyrinth in Corris. So wearing our compulsory bright blue crash hats off we went. (yep this caused such hilarity because we looked bloody dreadful, but I challenge anyone to look good wearing one! All photographic evidence has ripped into tiny pieces!)
It is a tour that tells the magical tale of King Arthur. It takes you deep below the old Braich Goch Slate Mines in Wales. Telling the tale of Arthur, his adventures, all exciting yet somber in parts with cast figures displaying the scenes............
The finale is at a point that is in deep darkness and all you hear is this noise ...... I can only describe it, as it struck me that day, as a male doing 'that' scene from 'When Harry met Sally'.
Lots of grunting and deep throated aghhhing, that seemed to go on forever.
That was me gone. My shoulders started going up and down, I did my best to be composed, and Sunny realised what I was laughing at. Then I let out this enormous gfaw which echoed around the cavern way beneath the ground (I just couldn't hold it in any longer).
The lights went on and the narrator carried on to describe that in Athurian legend this was some chap (may have been Arthur but I was corpsing so much I didn't hear) who had been stabbed and the sound was him calling for help............ tears were rolling down my cheeks and I looked at Sunny and she was in the same state of hysterical laughter. Two naughty sniggering school girls surrounded by parents and their off spring....... yes a hasty retreat was called for
So when we hooked up for a 24 hour visit recently where we managed to get our photo done for the Charity Book on FMB it was not much different .. it was so much fun. Dressing up in my 'ers hairpieces and hats, bright lippy, lots of belly laughter and wicked humour (I know we had a rule out at one stage but best not go there!!!).
I for one was so glad we managed to meet up as I had visions of having to do something ever so complicated/clever, stitching images together and adding our avatar. It was so much easier just to take a few photos after a couple of glasses of wine and have loads fun to boot
The book is now published and we will be ordering a couple ... but I urge you all to get one as the ultimate is part of the proceeds to charity
