Val Addiction: February 2008
http://valaddiction.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Friday, February 29, 2008. Last Day at Work. Oo, I'm getting all sniffly now! It will be my leaving presentation in a few minutes. Sad to leave as I've been with BRI for nearly 8 years, and made some very good friends. Keep in touch, folks! The levada walks in Madiera are a must for anyone that enjoys hiking - but be warned, they are not all easy, level water channels! As for the Madiera win...

Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Su Hart and Friends at the Bell, Bath. And now for something completely different! With the exception of Robb Johnson they were probably in an entirely different league to the usual bands at the Bell. We did buy the album as well, of course. It's called "Worth It After All". Patrick's favourite track is Zombie Jamboree (a bit different to the Spinners' vers...Is no...

Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Monday, August 18, 2008. Good news and bad news. The good news - I have been taken on permanently as a lab technician by Sun Chemical. This saves a lot of worry with mortgages, furniture buying, wedding expenses etc etc. PS I've now got Broadband (or widebeam as Patrick calls it! So I've managed to update my gallery. For the first time in ages. Have a peek! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I'm very excited today - I've bought a wedding dress! I can tell you I found it at Clifton Brides in Bath, and that it is a very unusual colour, but other than that my lips are sealed! At the moment I'm having a small glass of Malmsey and some Easter egg to celebrate! Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Strange to be back in South Wales again, especially for a folk gig! The s...

Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Trowbridge Village Pump 2008. I was expecting maybe a village festival in sleepy Farleigh Hungerfod? The Pump" is a huge festival - not quite as big as Shrewsbury but getting there. Arrived in time for festival food and '6 Day Riot' who were OK but not my kind of music, and the lead singer's voice somehow got on my nerves (too harsh? Saturday had some great acts on,...

It's the first time I've been to a non-folk festival ceilidh in aages - and I really enjoyed it. Adrian, our friend from the Somersetshire Coal Canal Society, kindly gave us a lift and tried to teach me some ceilidh moves - with varied success! Everyone seemed good natured, nobody was (outwardly! Dan Donnelly and ...

Val Addiction: Weekend on the Narrowboat
http://valaddiction.blogspot.com/2008/11/weekend-on-narrowboat.html
Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Monday, November 03, 2008. Weekend on the Narrowboat. A couple of weeks ago we had nothing particular on, and were both a bit fed up of working on the garden and spare room, so I suggested a weekend aboard Ripple. Patrick, of course, readily agreed! We decided to head towards Slimbridge so that we could visit the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, as well as the Tudor Inn! Back to the bird sanctua...

Val Addiction: Weekend in Kent and Sussex
http://valaddiction.blogspot.com/2008/11/weekend-in-kent-and-sussex.html
Folk, anarchy, beer, canals, shopping, rambling, cycling, cats, people watching, wittering on about random things. Sunday, November 16, 2008. Weekend in Kent and Sussex. On Sunday we did a car tour through Felixstowe and Dover to Ripple, the village near Deal which our narrowboat is named after. There was a windmill, a little church and a lovely pub (where I had a good pint of Harvey's Sussex) and a pink thatched cottage called Raspberry Cottage (get it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
