You shall go to the ball...



We went to a wonderful masked ball at Lytham Hall
Lytham Hall is a beautiful place.
The mansion is a grade 1listed 18th century manor house on the lancashire coast.

The ball was a fundraiser event to raise funds to repair and renovate the hall and also the vast grounds.

Me, hubby and our two woofs visit the grounds every week. It is a wonderful place to walk. There is a huge field to eat picnics, 2 lakes, woods and in late summer BLACKBERRY PICKING!!

There is always plenty going on there, weddings, parties and plays, you name it.

Lytham hall is truly in my heart.
As you can see from the pics, I never wore my mask!

Me and hubby in our best clothes :D

It was so nice to get really dressed up!
I loved seeing hubby in his tux and I got to feel like Cinderella that night in my beautiful ball gown.

It was a packed ball but me and Hubs sneaked around a bit to different rooms to look at the beauty :)

Goofballs :)
We got on so amazing with one particular couple on our table (Gary and Christina) and Gary told us to say cheese ;D

OMG OMG, this man is the sweetest man!!
We totally fell in love with him.
His name is Peter and he is so FUNNY and fun and silly, he made us crack up!
We have kept in touch with him.
Father figure I think, for us both.

There was all ages at the ball, from 20's up to 70's!
There were professional photographers there and we had our pic taken so hope to get a copy and also a lady from lancashire life was there too, she took a photo of us for the magazine, fingers crossed that we are in it as it will be really lovely to see that :)


The night was brilliant, we had canapes and reception and chatted to people,
then dinner, and THEN we got to dance, we danced and had a blast getting to know new people and Dave's mama bear had been kind enough to doggy sit that night so I could really relax and know that the woofs were getting loads of cuddles at home :)


Ahh, what a night. There should be another next year there, woo hoo!

I felt like Cinderella.

I bought my stunning gown from Vibe in Blackpool.

I never got to wear a wedding dress that was fancy, so this was wonderful for me :)
