It already feels like my first (& surprise!) hen party was a million years ago. I have been revelling in “post hen party blues” (is that a condition?) since Sunday!
My girls did a grand job of organising it & keeping the whole thing under wraps for the last year?!
After initially thinking that we were headed to Birmingham for a few weeks before… Bridie baked me cupcakes for me to organise in to the secret destination… At first I thought I was going to Manchester! Little did I know?
So of we went, bags in the car and off we tootled up the A1 to our fabulous location. No girls car journey is complete without an obligatory car selfie!
First up was a Cocktail Masterclass at Floritas which is one of the best & classiest bars in Newcastle. It was a ridiculous amount of fun. In fact, I get a little teary when I think about it because I just wish I was there again? Two teams, three cocktails – who wins?
To be honest I hardly got any photos of this because quite frankly we had far too many shots & cocktails to drink a pirate under the table!
Our butler in the buff provided the “eye candy” who happened to also be best friends with Scotty T from Geordie Shore (aptly the quote “WHO THE F@*K IS SCOTTY T?” followed this event as he is not an origggg cast mate?!)
We went to the Fat Buddha for an evening meal which was very cool. The food was lovely too! I had a Thai green curry which was so tasty. I expected it to not taste as authentic as Fat Buddha is a chain with restaurants all over the world, but it was so so so so good!
Then it was on to experience some of the nightlife. We hardy got any photos as we were extremely busy dancing our socks off in Tup Tup Palace which played the most ridiculously amazing music?
If I could rewind to that day, I would!
The next morning we filled our stomachs with a big full English and headed to the spa at the Hilton Gateshead. I had a serenity back, neck & shoulder massage which was meant to be a “nice & relaxing” massage. It started off lovely but as soon as she got to those knots, I genuinely thought I was trying to get killed?! I have only just recovered from it, some of the girls even had BRUISES from this? Can’t say it was the most relaxing massage I have ever had, so thank god for the jacuzzi, sauna & steam room to relax in!
After that we travelled back home & it was all a distant memory.
Overall I will be back Newcastle. You are just a delightful yet sinful place & I adore you.
Until my next hen party in a few weeks in York I can get repetitive strain injury scrolling through my photos and memories!
