It had been years since my best friend last visited from Australia, and so we planned plenty of adventures for while she was staying with me. Although we've spent the past two years living in the same country again, with my move back to London it will be another year or two before we are reunited, and so we needed plenty of girlie time before our long-distance friendship resumed. Our first mini-holiday was at the Brookland's Hotel in Weybridge, just a quick 20-minute drive from my parent's house.
