Leaving Do for Jeremy

Jeremy's going away aka leaving do included some drinks at the pub, dinner, more drinks at the pub and my first and last time meeting his co-workers. The co-workers were a lot of fun! It was so nice to put faces with names and stories (all good of course) that Jeremy has told me about his colleagues. One odd thing about English culture is that spouses and significant others are not typically invited out to social events after hours, including the holiday party. All of my American friends confirmed that they to were not invited to their husband's holiday parties. Work and personal life are just not mixed, well unless you are dating from the work pool...maybe that is why some do that... Anyway, this was a great night out and I even got to splurge and buy a new outfit in under one hour from leaving the flat to getting back, without Sophie mind you...but hey I won't complain that I had to sprint up the high street, throw every outfit on until I had the right European size, thankfully none of the outfits got stuck on and voila success in the end and it didn't break the bank! After meeting Jeremy's colleagues I can see why he has spent so much time at the pub after work with them, they were a great group! And, once we get back to MN there will be minimal pub time as this is just not part of our life in the states.
