Finally a Wifi connection

Hey all,

Apologies for the lack of blog this week. I'm actually on holiday in Norfolk near Great Yarmouth. It's been a strain and the weather has been pretty bad but worst of all nowhere has internet access! Honestly it's like being on the 80's all over again.

Food however has been pretty good with one exception. BBQ on the first day. There are 4 of us here and 2 of them are kids (7 year olds) so naturally I made 6 burgers of varying spiciness, 4 Beef Steaks, 4 Pork Steaks, 6 Cumberland Sausages, 4 Chicken Kebabs, Tomato Salad and of course the obligatory Potato Salad.....Needless to say 3 days later and there is still some left in the fridge.

Last night I made Britain's favourite home made caravan holiday park tucker Spaghetti Bolognaise. As passé as it is I still love a good old Spag Bol and I make it differently each time, which I suppose it's how it should be, after all the "Bolognaise" as it's referred to on these shores is actually known as "Ragu" in Italy and each region or even family has it's own version......but you all knew that right?

The let down on the food front however has been the take away curry we got on Tuesday. I was really craving one so headed off to the local village Tandoori and it was pretty poor. The sauces we're OK but the one chicken dish had about half a breasts worth of meat in it and the lamb dish had about two chops worth, they were more soup than curry.

That disappointment was soon in the past because after eating we went to a neighbouring holiday park to catch the talent competition and the cabaret...wooooooo

What a giggle that was !! The talent show was funny, it was all little kiddies so that made it bearable viewing. The winner was a little girl who got up on her own and sung a sing, I couldn't hear a word she sung but she was only about 4 or 5 and it was very brave of her to get up there.

Before that was the cabaret which was this group of young teenage kiddies who were collectively a singing and dancing troupe. The sound people completely buggered up the music meaning that there was loads of feedback and afterwards we were told that they'd been playing the backing music at the wrong speed so it was all out of key...Oops.

Heading back tomorrow via Ely to see my family there so should be out and about if anybody fancies a drink in town later on.

Anyway.......moving on I think it's all about Sven in the Park on 14th August. 12hr set (5pm - 5am) only slight problem is that it's in Livorno, Italy. Still I'll get some prices together and let people know if they happen to be interested in a little roadtrip.

Mind you I'm also wanting to head to Ibiza at the beginning of September too so could be an idea to save a bit of cash.

So that's about it, pretty much everything covered. Catch you laters.
