Camping in Somerset

Dan & I decided to take a cheaper holiday this year, so headed off to Somerset for a long weekend camping. We found an adult’s only campsite, Doolittles, in North Curry, a tiny village near Taunton. After a few hassles finding the campsite we got our tent set up before it got dark, and without it raining. We visited Weston-Super-Mare, where we saw the sand sculptures and played in the arcades. We only had 1 day of rain and managed to find the local bowling alley and cinema to wait it out. We also visited Cheddar, exploring the caves and seeing cheese and sweets made in the traditional way.

Julian Clary

Dan & I headed into Winchester for one of Julian Clary’s preview shows. I wasn’t that sure of the evening, but Dan loved it, and he’s the comedy fan. I ended up being included for a trial of a mind reading, thanks to Dan setting it up at the beginning. However it didn’t quite work out right, but hopefully it’ll work out once he starts the main shows.

Gilli & Mat’s Wedding

Gilli & Mat got married in Kew Gardens, and it was a lovely day in the end, with the sun coming out in time for the photos. I really enjoyed the day, which included a bus tour of the gardens, a fabulous meal and then an evening of dancing with cheese & wine. Along with catching up with friends I hadn’t seen for ages it really was a fantastic celebration and I’m sure Gilli & Mat will love their honeymoon and be very happy together.

Main earner

Dan is finally going to follow his dream and work for himself. He’s taking a year off from IBM to concentrate on his own business and pursue a portfolio career, combining website design with mentoring small businesses and clubs and even doing the odd professional pyrotechnic display. It means I’ll be the main wage earner for the year, though I’m sure it won’t take long for Dan’s efforts to pay off.
