A quick update from Thom about his Stag Do this weekend just gone... Apologies to viewers and listeners who missed us on Sunday, but we were very tired and still needed to drive home around the time we usually broadcast!
As you may know, Robin is Thom's Best Man, so with a bunch of Thom's friends (including Helen and Splat), he organised an awesome trip to St Briavels castle on the Welsh/English border. There we set up camp for the night, as the castle doubles as a Youth Hostel. Robin had cleverly organised a kids' birthday party-style feast of games, party food, music and lights, which entertained us through the night (and gave us an excuse to east lots of cake!).
After all the staff had gone home, we had a snoop around the grounds of the castle in the dark, playing hide and seek and popping across to the church graveyard to read gravestones and generally snoop about. The castle even had its own oubliette, which was complete with (fake) skeleton. If you don't know what an oubliette is, watch the film Labyrinth!
After a lot more chatting and chilling, we went to bed and endured perhaps the loudest, creakiest bunk beds known to man. The next morning we grabbed some breakfast before heading out to Tintern Abbey, where the remains of a Welsh abbey lie in breath-taking condition. Many photos later we had some more food (there is definitely a food theme here), we chilled in the sun whilst eating ice cream (see?).
All in all, a great time was had by everyone, and all my groomshumans got to meet each other for the first time. It was certainly different to your typical stag do, but then since when are asexuals normal?!
