Well that was useful. The map in the preview was fine... the map in the posting is missing the clever little pin that says 'Boundary Road'.

Chez Draper is immediately under the first letter N in London. We will find something scary to hang out of the bedroom window so you know you have the right house, but it is on the corner near the mini roundabout.

To confirm:

There will be meatballs, rice, veggies & curry sauce, pasta bake, chocolate ravioli (if I get my arse in gear) and other eatables at Chez Draper, Map here, which although isn't brilliant, does show you roughly where we are in relation to the main roads. Most of the hotels are on the right of the A406 on the map in the paler shaded areas. West Ham Football Ground for those staying there, is just above Barking Road, on Green Street. The Black Lion is just where it says A112.

Food is free for anyone who wants to turn up but any contributions gratefully recieved.

Hi Sian

The football club is a short taxi ride from the pub...infact we can see it from the end of our street. I do know that my soon to be niece is staying there and few catters are staying at the F1 and the Etap in Barking.

Sian... have you seen Micca recently? I'm sure the maternity wear is for him! : )

The football club is the closest of those mentioned, but it's still a good 20 min walk. It's very close to our house though.

So, is anyone staying in local hotels/B&Bs? I've checked out some as posted at the top here but haven't booked yet. I kinda fancy staying at the football club ... is it close enough?

I probably won't be able to get up on the Friday but I'll get there for the Big Event!

Why is the Ad by Google below here set on "Casual Maternity Wear" and "Serendipity-Online: Maternity Juicy Couture and Earl" ???

Just popped 'round Mudcat as I occasionally do, and had to investigate this strange "handfasting" term. I think I've been listening to too many Tom Lehrer songs -- my first impression was that it was a sort of Lent for body parts... (fasting? No eating hands?)

But now I get it! Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, catsPHiddle and Micca!

There is just over 2 and a half weeks to go til the Handfasting and I was just going through the list of those who have confirmed they are coming and it looks as though there are going to be about 45 catters there plus about 30 of our friends who are not catters! It looks like it is going to be a mini festival with many people coming over on the Friday before for the session in the back bar of the Black Lion and there is the option for a die hard session on Sunday!

Starting to look forward to it all and the music and singing should be excellent!! We will have to make sure we take our camera and post some pictures here!

Saturday night was the Hen Night...renamed Chicken Night and Micca had his Stag Do. What a wonderful night organised by Liz and Limpit. We met round Liz's then went bowling. Liz said she had never played before but somehow no-one believes her as she won! We then went on to Frankie and Bennys for something to eat accompanied by the chickens made out of rubber latex gloves by Limpit. Atfter that we met up with the Stag party at a cocktail party at Lady Penelope and Parkers! We got home just after 2pm escorted by Taffski and drank single malt whiskey. The amazing thing is and somewhat a miracle is that I didn't have a hangover and managed to be in the gym by 11am!! I hear that Micca had a civilized stag do.....not a word that springs immediately to mind when you consider there was Micca, Taffski, Manitas and Dave all together with a large amount of alcohol....they went wine tasting then onto a pub then a restaurant before arriving at Lady P's cocktail party which ended with everyone sitting round watching and singing along to The Rocky Horrror Picture Show.

A Grand Night!!

Oooo kayyyy....

The Black Lion isn't THAT far from Stratford, but use a black cab from by either Plaistow or Stratford stations because some of the cab firms here are VERY unreliable when it comes to set times for pickups! Failing that, Manitas will be here and underfoot so he can act as taxi for you.

Should we be getting hazard lights and a fire blanket for the cake.. or would Resolve and a pint of water be better?!

I feel the same way about Pink, cats. I also had to live in a pink room as a child and I despised it. As soon as I could get away with it, I moved myself into the guest room and put up wall paper which made the room look like a cell (bumpy textured rock walls, very cool looking as far as I was concerned). I still have this amazing negative reaction to the colour and never wear it.

You'll be lucky to get Molly in anything BUT pink! Added to that the fact that Maddie has taken to wearing very short skirts with very bright pink fishnets and baseball boots..... I will not be in pink nor will Geoff although he may be in a few other colours. The cake of course will come suitable dressed.
