... 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 ...

... imagining the people who lived there and their daily rituals. <br><br>We had the most beautiful day for it &#8211; and afterwards we go into the village and sit outside a small tearoom where we each have a piece of cake (lemon drizzle cake for me) and a drink, mum and I share a pot of coffee. Its lovely sitting there and we take our time, enjoying the sunshine and chatting.<br><br>We drive through the country lanes and flint villages until we hit Titchwell &#8211; where ...

... in the audience now laughed, Wow he was really going for it now but it was short lived and very soon the Hammond organ and ***** drummer took Ken into another song with granny smith behind me in accompaniment.... It was all I could take and at 8:02 we left the building, I had made it through about 40 minutes of Ken Dodd which was 39 more than I had wanted to so all in all I had done well.<br>I'm glad I had seen him with my own eyes and drawn my own ...

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>

... s Connie doing, what if she can&#8217;t fly with the broken ribs, why is the sky blue, why does it hurt when I pee???&#8230;etc.<br><br>I called Connie at her bedside phone, which I had set up the evening before, to see how she was doing. She sounded pretty rough as stiffness had set in, but said she was better than the day before, which made me feel somewhat better, but not much. Mick and I set off on the hour and a half trip to the airport ...

... and downloaded yesterdays photos etc. And the time passed by very quickly&#8230; <br><br>I used the Watherspoon ladies to freshen up. That toilet was definately more fresh than I was. Every 30 seconds there were a puff of refreshing scent sprayed in the air&#8230; (This beacause the most cold and horrible toilet, without any mirror, was definately the Axe&amp;Cleaver ladies. It wins the price of the most horrible toilet I have ever been in ;D)<br><br>So as I was late and after ...

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 ...
