#EnglishSummer

Good morning from Oxfordshire, dear readers!  I landed at Heathrow around 8am yesterday, waking Jon up when I called him to tell him I'd arrived even though he meant to pick me up at the airport.  (Why yes, this does mean I get to play off his Bad Fiancé Guilt for the rest of my trip!)  We ended up meeting at Paddington and then taking the tube up to King's Cross, where we had a delicious brunch at Caravan, before making our way to Jon's flat in North London so I could drop off my bags, take a nap, and freshen up before heading back out.

I'm in Oxfordshire this weekend for a dear friend's hen do, which is what the Brits call a bachelorette party, and it's absolutely glorious.  All the other girls arrived at the hostess' country place on Friday evening, and I met them yesterday afternoon as they came back from a punting adventure in Oxford.  We had a fabulous fancy dinner last night, complete with a hidden cache of champagne and a delicious cheese course.  I managed to stay awake until just after midnight - no mean feat, considering my jet lag - and now a few of us are brewing coffee, rehydrating, and sneaking morsels of leftover cheddar around the kitchen table.  We've got a lovely day planned here before returning to London.  Make sure you're following me on Instagram if you want to see what we're up to!

We've got amazing weather predicted for my whole trip, so you're going to see lots of photos and tweets tagged with #EnglishSummer - look how lovely it's going to be!  I'll be blogging as usual all the way through, and can't wait to introduce my very first sponsors to you tomorrow.  We'll have a wonderful July together!  I hope you're all having the very best weekend wherever you are - enjoy your Sunday!
