... own life to save those of other people who have got themselves into trouble at sea. They don&#8217;t get paid for this, they just do it and I didn&#8217;t realise until this visit that they do not get one single penny as an organisation from the government, they are completely charity funded &#8211; i.e. donations from people.<br><br>We find a tearoom overlooking the beach to have some lunch in and then move on up the ...

... are going to the bird reserve. By the time we get there we decide its lunchtime and they sell gorgeous Cornish pasties here, second only to the Cornish pasty shop in St Ives in Cornwall, so we sit and eat them before strolling round the reserve. Its very quiet on the bird front here today, we see various wading birds such as Curlews and Oyster Catchers, but other than that there isn&#8217;t much about. We walk out onto the beach at the bottom of the reserve because often ...

... at all!! as we got to our seats. <br><br> I really dislike people saying the show starts at 7:30 and then coming on stage at 8:30 but ken to his credit came on at about 7:35.. Wow things were going real well and then............ he opened his mouth ok so the first word wasn't funny and nor was the second, and by the tenth he still had not forced a smile he was however breaking into song and the women behind knew all the words yes ALL and in her croaky 95 ...

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>

... able to fly. So far, the doctors were cautiously optimistic about both and thought she might get out on Friday, although Connie had her concerns about being able to make the flight. Mick and I spent some time making sure she was alright and then headed back to Leeds for the evening, leaving Connie and her hen party to plan their entertainment of the evening&#8230;somehow, I didn&#8217;t think getting the male nurses to pole dance was in the cards...

We stayed four days in Skegness (never heard of it???) Its very famous for an outstanding event. I was born there. I haven't been back for over 40 yeas. Its a seaside resort in the true English fashion. the Sand, deck chairs, pier (well half of one anyway, the other half blew down in a storm 30 years ago). On the seafront ...

So goodbye Scotland. Have to come back someday&#8230; most definately. <br><br>It must be now the tiredness start to crawl in my old bones, since early waking is hard&#8230; <br>And the time before entering the towns are so similar somehow&#8230; Today it was a town called Boston and the venue Axe &amp; Cleaver. Yes, I know, is not Boston in the USA. We thought that too, hehe&#8230;<br><br>The town was quite small, so also the venue&#8230; but it seemed as a nice local pub&#8230; a bit ...

MAY DAY Bit of a later start than we had hoped&#8230;.but finally got going later afternoon (ended up sending out last minute wedding invites!) It's raining &#8230;what&#8217;s new!? We headed north, and took the A1. It&#8217;s a pretty wet day, and as we drove through Sandringham (past Sandringham House where there is a Royal Military base!) Huge gate&#8230;but it was so wet we didn ...

Today we had a big party at my Dad's allotment to say goodbye to us and to celebrate mine and my Dad's Birthdays. The weather was great and everybody turned up: Me, Mum, Dad, Katie, Carmel, Paul, Dan, Caroline, Craig, Shona, Rich, Gee, Becks, Pete, Linda and more. We all ate food drank beer and chatted till the sun went down then we lit a massive bonfire. By the time it had burnt down most people started filtering off home and it ...
