My pottery from Tilly's party has arrived:
It was every bit as brilliant as I remember it, everyone at home seemed teally impressed with it too!
It was the smallest one they had, but it was a little bit on the long side but we decided it would make a brilliant nightie anyway! Thanks Auntie Trish, I love it!
Sitting up in the balcony gave us a great view of the proceedings below, the circle pits, the wall of hugs and and some rather excellent crownd surfing, it was quite an eye opener for sure. It was a rather late night for a school night...hey ho, thats rock n roll!
It felt so remote, although not too remote for their to be a little shop selling chocolate!
It was pretty blowy though, we enjoyed tuckng down inthe dunes for shelter for a bit:
We wandered round for a while, surveying all the beach huts and kayaks, left abandoned for the winter before heading back to the ferry, makng sure we got there before the last one left at 4pm.
Wednesday
She Mum continued her ongoing attempt to try and embarrass me at evety oppurtunity by account by accompanying my class on our trip up to Park House to watch their musical production (Ned wasn't in it sadly). It was very good, if a little long.....
Rugby was cancelled due to the pitch still being frozen even thpugh it had all day to thaw out. It has been proper cold though.
In the evening was an event i've been looking forward to for months and months, Frank Turner!
Ned had dlatd homslf well and truly out of this one along with Mum so it was a night out for Dad and I.....and a few others. Along for the ride were Auntie Trish, Auntie Christine, Owen, Kirsty and Andy. We all went in our car with the seats up in the boot so that was great fun to begin with. We got to the Hexagon in plenty of time for a drink and for a visit to the merchandise stand. Au tie Trish decided I really ought to have a t-shirt as a momento from my first proper gig:
We found our seats right near the front of the balcony and caught the last couple of songs of the support band, Felix Hagan and the Family. They seemed really loud.....but were certainly enjoying themselves and so were most of the crowd. Fortunatley Auntie Trish had bought some foam earplugs from her work whch were fantastc....as was her bag of Freddo's and Haribo's.
It wasn't long until the man himself was on, it was all really rather exciting and I sat pretty still and concentrated, takng it all in for the first few songs. It was teally interesting watching the crowd as well as the band. By the end of the show though I was fully into it....not as into it as my Aunties though who had both seemingly lost the plot!
Thursday
It was expected i'd struggle to function today after last nights late one. Apart from having to be woken up a few times in the morning though I was on remarkably good form!
Saturday
So a split in the camp today, the boys went off cycling and dropped Mum and I off in Reading on the way. Clothes shopping was on the agenda and I did very well. I got a dress and two proper nice tops (out of 13 items I tried on in one shop). It all worked out rather well and the boys picked us up on their way home as we were finished too!
Sunday
A trip to the seaside in the freezing cold? Yeah, sounds about right for us doesn't it?
We had a bit of a walk along the beach at Mudeford, working up an appetite for lunch before hitting the Cafe.
We wandered out onto the quay and noticed the ferry was running over the water to the spit of sand so we decided to take a trip over:
Monday
Even hough we alll knew the actual result, we sat and watched the final of I'm a celebrity on catch up TV. We've loved watching it this year eventhough it has involved involved some mamoth catch up sessions.....
