On a personal note ...

3 days, 716 miles!!

My three day weekend saw me driving from Gillingham to Bangor, North Wales on Saturday, with Amira.





After unloading the car at Amira's new home in Bangor, we took a walk in to the town, had something to eat and then went to explore. Here is the back of the main university building.



We found a circle of standing stones, which upon investigation are really not so old, but we'd walked a long way so I needed a wee lay down.

I sure that Amira will soon tire of all the green space, the trees, the water ... she'll be begging to come back to Medway (just kidding).


On Sunday morning, after a cuppa, I drove from Bangor to Tewkesbury to visit family.  Enjoyed a lovely afternoon/evening with Tony (my brother) and Sarah (sis-in-law). Staying over the night with my dad.
On Monday, we went to Pershore to visit my nephew, James, and his family. Finally getting to see my new great nephew, Reuben, for the first time  ...  and catching up with big brother Jonah :-)

On a personal note ...

Most people who know me well just laughed when I said I was going camping over the Bank Holiday weekend, but here's the proof ...


The Big Church Day Out is actually a weekend (though a day visit is an option). There were five stages, umpteen bands, eateries galore, fun stuff, a massive resources tent and 25,000 people  ...  all set in the grounds of Wiston House.



I SURVIVED!!!  I can now officially say  ...  been there, done that, but no-one gave me a t-shirt.

Bowling Night

Bowling Nights are always fun and last night was no exception with 17 of us spending almost three hours at MFA Bowl.





Here's Sonali Mishra, from India, in action.
Her first ever evening bowling :-)

Here's Rhandi from St Kitts & St Nevis, also
playing for the first time, and here doing a
wonderful impression of a cardboard cut-out.

 

Here are two of our three score results -
please note against the 'L' three strikes, four spares
and two broken nails later, I won the final game :-)  


Many thanks to all who came along.
