Aberdale Hotel Skegness

... with trips with mum and dad!!!) And eventually we make our way to Sherringham as mum and dad haven't been there before. We wander through the town and out onto the seafront – walk along and then sit on the stones watching the sea for a while before taking a look round the life boat station. Such extraordinary, selfless people – with each buzz of their pager, they willingly drop everything and completely risk ...

... the car &#8211; wonderful.<br><br>We stop in the village we are staying in and make a visit to the local pub for a drink. Dad and John have a pint of the local beer, which they both enjoy and we bump in to the other people from where we are staying. It turns out that they had been to Castle Acre and to a different bird reserve today, so we chatted to them for a while about where we&#8217;d all been and what we&#8217;d seen etc. before finishing up our drinks and heading back.

Ok it's been a long time since we blogged and NO we are not as yet on another trip but our adventures continue anyway. So in an effort to remember all the crazy things we do I decided to add last nights events to our blog.<br>Location - Embassy Theater, Skegness<br>Event - Ken Dodd<br>Duration - ermmm wait and see..<br><br>I had heard a lot of talk about Ken Dodd live, lost of people had mentioned he goes on for hours (lucky gals) and gives a good performance ...

We wnet to Skegness for the first time in 5 years then found out we had booked in at the same Touring site too. Though this was a trip to take Grand-daughters for birthday treats so we raied the internet for Bogoff tockens for Natureland and The Pleasure beach even found ...

... food inside of me, it was time to leave the town, and draw the 'Skegness chapter' to a close. Reflecting upon the experience, it was *************eering one for myself, simply because it is a place visited on numerous occasions in the past, but it always leaves me wondering just what a foreign visitor would make of a town of this nature, which typifies the tacky, yet somehow alluring nature of a fair number of British coastal towns.<br>

... in the Jag and me on my bike. We found the shipping company that would be handling the bikes without any problem, however they didn&#8217;t have any waybills or any knowledge of the bikes being shipped out. The guys there were very helpful in contacting the right people to get the information and confirmation that they needed and sort everything out for the shipment. My bike was checked out pretty quickly and I was relieved when they told me a ...

... can get anything to eat, providing its deep fried with chips. Lucky my cousin saved us from cholesterol overload by providing us with delicious meals. I visited my old home and was shown the actual room I was born in.<br><br>We then caught the train to York where we are staying for the next four days. "ee, ain't it grand"

... maybe it is progressing in the pace I think I get to know them better&#8230;<br><br>After the gig it was packing the gear and - hanging out in the bar. Matthias had parked the bus a bit further away, so he would come a bit later with it for the load-out.<br><br>This days theme of converations I could describe as obsessions and happiness: what makes us tick and why we do things we do. And that we dare to do them. The best conversation ever between me and Magnus was here in Boston, in ...

... t even stop to take a picture! We kept driving up towards Hunstanton and watched the windsurfers &amp; surfers from the cliffs in the awful weather. Drove back to see if we could find a camp ground&#8230;.the first one wanted £30per night, thought that was a bit steep! So kept driving on. Finally found a little camping ground near the sear in Snettisham which was much cheaper- £12per ...

... to dawn on me what I had let myself in for. Looking back on it now it is hard to imagine how I felt, mainly because I now know what I have encountered over the last year, but before I left I was stepping into the complete unknown... anything could happen!<br><br>Anyway, to try and counterbalance the feelings of anxiety I got really really drunk and ended up puking in my tent (which I was sharing with my unfortunate friend Rich).
