So on Friday I took an early finish from work and headed off on my adventure to see Matthew and his new house in the Malvern hills. I got to leave at about 3ish so it was nice to not be rushing to make sure I caught the right trains, although I forgot that this was what most people did on a Friday so the train ended up being quite busy, especially to Birmingham.
The journey wasn't too long and I was so excited to see Malvern and Matt that it didn't really feel like long at all and from a bit of a historical de-briefing afterwards I realised I had met him at Malvern Link, which used to be the station where all the servants would get off before the main station in Malvern where all the posh people would pick up their carriages from. Nice! From there on we called it Slave Link, obviously.
Then I got to see his beautiful flat/apartment on the second floor of a very grand and fancy Victorian town house with lots of high ceilings, paned windows and quirky walls. The interior and fittings were all very new and modern and he's kitted it out with lots of lovely furniture and gadgets so it made me so happy to see him so lovely and settled in his new home.
After a celebratory bottle of cava and an exchange of house-warming present and card, we headed down into the town centre for a curry and some drinks. The meal was so nice and it took us ages to order just because of non stop chatting, which I think is the true sign of a meal out with friends because if you're having such a good time together, then it's not about the menu first.
Then the rest is a bit blurred really. I have some very hazy memories of some of our conversations but before long we were very drunk on gin in a variety of bars and headed home very late. I really wish I could remember more, specifically what was said amongst us that night. But I guess it doesn't really matter. We both enjoyed spending time together again.
Lots of Friday night love,
Becca xx
