icampbell and I are now back from honeymoon and settling back into normal life. Not that our life was that normal to begin with, you understand. Anyway, the honeymoons were both fantastic and we had a lot of fun. Looking forward to catching up with everyone in person now that we're home.

Yep, icampbell and I got married on Saturday and we had a brilliant day! Photos soon, when we get back from honeymoon and get around to putting them online (along with hen/stag ones). Strange but lovely to call myself Mrs Kirsty Campbell and can't stop looking at my wedding ring (or my new husband of course!)

At the end of our wedding meal, icampbell's Grandad ( Read more... )

An award for supreme patience must surely go to the Bun Shop staff (especially Tamas the Karaoke King) for looking after my hen party last night - they kept the food, wine and cheesy tunes coming! Definitely recommend it for a night out ( Read more... )

Strangely for me, no writing has been done for a good week now. Haven't gone off it, promise. Just that there's been a rather big distraction these past couple of weeks...

icampbell and I are getting married on June 2nd! We are having a small ceremony at the Registry Office in Cambridge with just parents/siblings/grandparents, followed by a nice meal ( Read more... )

I made all the changes to The Forever Summer that I want to make for now, so I have printed it out and given it to Ian, Frances, Sarah, my Mum, Deniz and Candy.

The third draft of The Forever Summer is finished. The manuscript has my red scrawl all over it - now I am in the process of making all the changes on the computer. That part tends to be rather time consuming, but I am aiming to get copies to kind proofreaders in the next couple of weeks ( Read more... )

...but got lots more editing done. Nothing done over the weekend, but definitely going to crack on with it now while icampbell makes me a delicious curry for my tea.
