Hello Folks, Last Friday saw the 16 brave men and true (and Simon!) embark on the annual lads weekend away.

It was a cricket tour - but this year with no cricket (go figure!) What goes on tour stays on tour of course - but Weston-super-Mare certainly knew we arrived....

Afer going to bed at about 3.30am on Sunday morning I had to be up before 6am to drive to Wolverhampton for Ak's wedding...

I had to stop at every service station for a toilet break. lol. But I enjoyed sunrise on the M5 - It almost looked beautiful...(Steady on!) It was a traditional Sikh ceremony (pictures of me in my garb to follow) - plenty of temple food and sitting crossed legged for a long time..

I got told off for pointing my feet at the holy book....

Ak married Marta (a Spanish Catholic) and the costumes were amazing. I hadn't realised how good looking Sikh girls are...lol....

I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen for years (Marta's friends) - We all used to knock around Walsall together in about 1996/7...Most hadn't changed.

Fermin is still the most energetic Spanish bloke I will ever meet!

We had the drummers and the Bhangra beats and the whole event was fabulous. But by 5.30pm I was so tired and drove back to mum's in Staffordshire and fell asleep...

The next day I went on a mission to find a valet for my car - unsuccessful and met up with Vickie and Grace for lunch and B+J for tea - Then went back to Halton - unpacked and slept some more....

Tonight Kay (who I haven't seen in years) is coming to dinner... So must get home early and tidy the house...

Oh yes....I have put some more pics on Facebook...
