ROOTS - Thurs 3rd May...the day before

Soooo, just arrived at Southport for ROOTS 2007. Tried to get into the venue - but it was locked...so we went to the team gathering which was already in full swing. It was lovely - a few crisps, a few prayers, a few videos, nice to see a few friends too... and then our short evening had to come to a close. Hence, it was bed time...

Which meant going to the hotel that will be home for the weekend. Which only turns out to be the best darn-dest hotel in the whole of Southport! I arrived to be taken through a rigourous door opening routine (3333 - clever eh? Don't break in though...)

And then...the room...this room is...amazing!

Take a deep breath and see below...I'll walk you through it...














IT'S A MEDIEVAL ROOM! This is angle 1 - on the left you can see the four poster - with curtains. On the right is the en suite. Complete with turrets! And you can see the hatched ceiling effect! I wanna train some clematis over that bad boy!














Here's the view looking back to the door. Note tapestry on the left hand side and most importantly (although hard to grasp the beauty of in a stationary photo) the moving, fire effect wall lamp! How can this get better? It can!














This is the bathroom. This is the view from THE OUTSIDE! Yep - stained glass windows on the bathroom door. Hence Jon and I can watch each other taking a dump...in technicolour!

This is gonna be the best weekend EVER!
