I love long weekends

We've had a such lovely, relaxing long weekend - I love bank holidays! Yesterday Lee and I went for a run along the river and followed it up with a big breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. We were padding our stomachs for the festive drinks that we would be having later on that day at our friends' wedding.

The wedding was such a great time. It took place at a gorgeous historic home and the weather could not have been more perfect. Following the civil ceremony we had champagne and canapes in the grounds while the bride and groom were off getting their pictures taken (how civilized!).





The grounds were spectacular.





I worked up the nerve to wear a fascinator throughout the day, as I don't think I'd ever wear one at a Canadian wedding.

There was a lot of champagne on offer, which led to some somewhat dodgy pictures ;)







I loved how the table names were named after places that the bride and groom had visited. We were seated at Oakville - where they went for our wedding!



We've spent today just relaxing and getting ready for the work week. I wanted to have some oatmeal cookies to have with our lunches but we were out of butter and eggs. Luckily I found a vegan recipe that required neither of those ingredients and it actually was rather tasty (although not the prettiest - but that could have been due to the baker, not the recipe!). I only used a third of the sugar recommended as I thought the recipe looked far too sweet.
