We sold our car last week.

Wasn’t half as sad as when we sold our caravan!

Our friends came down south this weekend to escape the terrible floods up north.

We had a lovely time visiting the castle, pedaling around Swan Lake and the obligatory game of Adventure golf.

We also enjoyed fish and chips on the beach, a night at The Crypt as well as fitting in a lovely meal at St Clements restaurant in St Leonards.

Well kind of. The bingo hall has now re-opened along with Bar Luxor. They even have a few outside tables with which to enjoy the summer sun and have a tipple!

Pete and I went along to celebrate the grand re-opening.

On the pier after one whole year

The Hastings Beer and Music Festival was on over the weekend at Alexandra Park.

Very small scale compared to what we are used to but a good selection of 40 real ales. Bit lacking on the cider front but the music was great from Kylie Fever, The Ramones and the Rolling Clones.

Check out our glow in the dark drinks glasses! (and the guy who sneaked in behind petes shoulder)

Pete and I went to the White Rock Theatre in Hastings recently and watched the live recording ot the Radio 4 show ‘Jut a Minute’.

Nicolas Parsons was the hilarious host along with Paul Merton. Jenny Eclair, Gyles Brandreth and the beautiful looking Julian Clary.

It was the funniest show - well worth the £5 ticket.

Sorry though - no pics.

Finally it has arrived!

Glastonbury is back after a gap year. Pete and I were joined by the usual crowd or Iain, Belle and Trent who had made it all the way from Australia!

We also had Iains mum, Moya, join us. It was her first Glasto and she loved it!

Weather was a sore point. It rained pretty much the whole time so ponchos and wellies were our best friends!

Battle Cider to keep us warm

We saw Muse (again!) at the new Wembley Stadium.

An amazing building - so big it took us about half an hour to actually get in there!

My very good friend Heather, returned from a week in Poland with a diamond sparkler on her pinkie!

Matt - the little tinker - had only gone and proposed to her!

Aaahhh, how romantic. I have been priviliged enough to have been asked to be Heathers bridesmaid which I accepted straight away.

Congratulations guys!

The happy couple

June is festival time!

We had impulse bought tickets to the IOW festival purely because we found out Muse were headlining on the Saturday night.

It was glorious weather the whole wkd and we had a great time with Iain, Louise, Erin and Moya.

Muse were absolutely amazing. I was also blown away by Paulo Nuttini, Amy Winehouse, Keane (as always) and surprisingly, The Rolling Stones!

The IOW gang

We had visitors this weekend.

Heather and Matt descended on us after a brief stop-over at Leeds castle in Kent.
