having FUN FUN FUN!!!

You have to admit - this looks exciting, doesn't it?



However, the sad reality was this...


Not quite the 'serving wench' that Mark and Will had been expecting! The really sad thing is, since I was handed the ad for the event, I'd been looking forward to going!

It wasn't exactly packed!

It was a little muddy!

But as you can see, we made the most of it, and enjoyed a really fun and entertaining 10 minutes (and that was seriously spinning it out)

There was a stall selling those phone things you hang round your neck with the names of English football teams. There were no men in those sexy leather short things (I am not attempting to spell it - rest assured I do know what they are called) - the only good thing I can say is that the sausages were very nice. There was also a stall with nuts and olives.

Anyway - it was Fathers' Day today - and Mark drove for three and a half hours to surprise his dad and take him out for the day. He thought he might like to go to Cosford to see the Cold War exhibition. He was wrong...

Conversation went like this:
M: Would you like to go to Cosford to see the Cold War exhibition?
T: I hadn't really thought about it.

So, while he was having his breakfast I went in to see if I could encourage him to go.

W: So, now you have had time to think about it, would you like to go to the Cold War exhibition?
T: I hadn't really thought about it.
W: Well, quite. But you have thought about it now. Would you like to go?
T: I don't know.

Eventually he came up with a valid excuse - he said he couldn't go because he had to post a letter...

We didn't take him to the German festival of joy and fun - but I rather wish we had now!!
