Shipping Out Shindig

Last night truly was our Shipping Out Shindig: drinks were drank, shapes were thrown, songs were sung and laughs were most definitely had! So as I type this, feeling a bit tired and tender (and that’s just my feet- heels are no ones friend) I would like to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who was able to come along last night, James, Natalie and myself, had such a fantastic time and we hope you did too! We couldn’t have asked for a better night, or a better group of people to spend it with.

Before the madness Parx c.2017
The venue was excellent: Parx Cafe is wonderful place (not that I’m biased at all) a Parx Party is always an excellent party, and when it’s not a dance floor or gallery its a brilliant cafe with some pretty cool staff (again, not that I’m biased.) A massive thank you to Parx for letting us host everyone, we couldn’t have been anywhere better! The space was excellent and Natalie, my partner in crime who is also off to continue her UK wide domination, did an excellent job of dressing the space, the balloons and banners were a definite hit. #catchyeez

Natalie, Hatti and James will catch you on the flipside
Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love a good boogie and one of many definite highlights for me was having everyone jumping around like it’s a school disco to a bit of funk and a bit of cheese. Including my Mum who can absolutely Shake A Tail Feather. A highlight for James, who is not so much into the dancing, would be standing out of the range of my flailing limbs while having good catch ups with friends…and the piggy back from our friend Mark who has the most Strong and Stable shoulders we’ve ever come across..

Also definitely worth a mention were the speeches which were totally unexpected but so lovely and I think all 3 of us came home with full hearts and swollen heads.

Look Again Ladies
Nicole, Harrison, Hatti and James
It was so wonderful having friends and family from so many different parts of our lives in the same room, mingling and just generally being in everyone’s company. You’re all going to be missed!

We were having such a blast we didn’t take all that many photos, but we wanted to put together what we have for future prosperity.
