On Saturday I went up to Preston for the night to meet up with my friends from the Studio. After getting the train up, I went for a meal at the Continental pub with a large group from dancing. The meal was very nice and it was great catching up with people I haven't spoken to for nearly a year.

| Tricia and Katherine, my amazing (and crazy) friends. |
 |
| Getting flowers. |
I stayed overnight with Katherine and Philip, so after the meal we went back and opened a bottle of prosecco and chatted. Katherine hadn't had that much to drink. She just a bit crazy but I love her for it!

| Wrapped up. |

| Nearly fell down the stairs when I opened the bathroom door to see this! |
On Sunday morning, after a lie in, we went to explore the Preston Christmas markets. They were ... well it's Preston so a bit disappointing. There were a few stalls, an iceskating rink, and food places. And being Preston, it was of course raining.
 |
| Skating rink |
 |
| Little ones got skating penguins to help them - so cute. |
 |
| Wet and a bit empty. |
 |
| Beer hall. |
Some of the stalls had some nice things. I only brought some cheese (I do miss good sharp English cheese).
 |
| Gel based plants |
 |
| Super giant sausage roll! |
 |
| Cookie monster cupcakes! |
Philip had to go back tot he house to find my ring, which I had missed placed. Thankfully he found it (such a sweetie for going back and looking!).
Due to the rain we ended up eating in a cafe before Katherine dropped me off at the train station. On the train, I got a table seat but then a drunk guy, clutching his can of gin & tonic, sat opposite and proceeded to snore loudly! Thankfully he only stayed on the train for 2 stops! Now time for a lamb roast for dinner. I love being home!
