“We started with just 25 friends, a swimming pool, a set of decks and a birthday BBQ.”
But our story is that of a wedding. Or should I say, a hen do…

Special kudos should go out to Lucy and Sarah for making these t-shirts – that’s right, we even made our own tie dye hen-branded tops!
This year Standon Calling ran from Friday 1st August – Sunday 3rd August.
We all made our way up to Hertfordshire Friday afternoon, departing from various places across the south of England and arriving in dribs and drabs throughout the afternoon. Jess and I arrived first, so we jumped in the queue (which was already ginormous) picked up our wristbands (a whole 2 or 3 hours later – yawn) and by that point some of the others had started to arrive. We took one for the team and lugged as many of the tents in as we could whilst everyone was still queuing and grabbed a spot to pitch them.
Long story short I had pizza.











A little while later we headed back up to our little camp, and a little while after that we eventually headed off to bed.
It rained a little during the day so we couldn’t venture out to do a great deal, but thankfully the rain had stopped by late afternoon and we cracked out the face paints. This years theme at Standon Calling was ‘Lost in Latin America’, so most of us went with a kind of Sugar Skull look…



Today was all about macaroni cheese.This stuff was seriously good, and yes that is bacon you’re seeing on top.








Nevertheless we made use of our time afterwards by taking some bride and bridesmaid photobooth pics 😉
