Returned from my holiday - knackered and in need of a holiday!

Got to Staffs from Widnes on Thursday night - Picked Sarah up on the Friday and we hit the Park Gate on Friday night with some friends - to start the holiday....

Woke on Saturday with a bit of a hangover and (eventually) hit the road and headed to Suffolk - to Ann and Barry's chalet in Kessingland...

It was a busy week - we did relax but at various towns - Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds (where St Edmund is buried!), Lowestoft, Southwold, Gt Yarmouth (chav-ville!) etc...

Higlights included the pier at Southwold which had a groping machine, zimmer frame frogger and various other weird and wonderful equipment.

We had a posh meal in Southwold, coffees in Gt Yarmouth and paella in Kessingland. We went to a crap museum, went on kiddies fairground rides and generally enjoyed living it down...

We met my friend Hannah in Cambridge (after going punting with the hurrah Henrys and Henriettas and Jen and Al in Dennington as well as lots of chavs on a night out in Lowestoft....

But the highlight had to be our spa day on the Wenesday in Bury St Edmunds - although we were late (not my fault!) and I giggled through my massage....

Took Sarah back to Burton station to get the train back to Newcastle and I got back to Staffordshire and just felt totally drained.

It's been a busy one this week too. I seem to lurching from one busy weekend to another...

On Saturday was Cannock Wood and Gentleshaw' 'Country Fayre' - It was a tremendous success.

Stalls and events included morris dancers, jazz band, tombola, Mr Blobby and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

It was sunny and the bar was open at midday...cider flowed and yours truly and the cricket crew got a bit wasted....

So much so I got roped into some morris dancing and had my photo taken by the local paper - trying to play a banjo! In the evening there was barn dance - nuff said!

On Sunday I tried to have an alcohol free day - but ended up in the pub watching the Grand Prix with the usual suspects...

Then in the evening Caroline and I went to see Erasure and the Wolverhampton Civic. Fantastic (as they always are!) but it meant I didn't get back to Widnes til well past midnight....

Well done to The Brindley our little theatre which was honoured live on TV - winning Best Arts Project in the UK at The National Lottery Awards 2007...Hurray!

It just goes to prove if we give something enough PR it catches on...It is a relief after all the plugging we gave it....

This week got back in touch with a couple of old (well not THAT old lol) friends, including the lovely Kay - a fellow nomad who now lives in Llandudno....xx I have also arranged to meet my long lost cousins in Chester....

Well folks I will see some of you in Weston-super-Mare and others of you at Akbal's wedding...
