Well like most people, not a lot has happened this year, by now we would normally have done about 4-5 shows and been away for 6-7 weekends, but no cigar.
We did manage a holiday though, went up to stay with friends in Norfolk, spent a week there and had our own, socially distanced, festival in their garden...
Facilities included a hot tub...
One of our friends did henna for the kids, and then the Dads once we were pissed...
Spent a day out on the Broads in a dinghy...
Had a great week and then headed down to Harwich for the overnight ferry to the Hook of Holland...
My nippers first time on a ferry, he was chuffed...
We then had a very hot drive for nearly 2 hours down to our campsite in Zeeland, cracking site just 1 mile from a lovely town full of decent restaurants and a few bars, and very close to a huge sand beach...
Turned the van off after the long drive while we checked in, came back out minutes later and it wouldn’t even turn over, rocking it in gear did nothing so got under and tapped the starter motor solenoid with a spanner and it started on the button, hasn’t done it before or again since so won’t worry about it for now, my second bay did it quite often which was a pain.
Cooked on the Cobb most nights as the sun went down...
Plenty of cycling, beach time, beach bars and hanging out as a family, it’s what life’s about right?
The government added the Netherlands to the quarantine list just before we came back, so we came back to being house-bound for 2 weeks, but it was worth it for a 2 week break. The last show I’ve got a space at not to cancelled yet is Oh So Retro, so fingers crossed that’s still on.
Got a list of jobs I want to do on the bus over the autumn and winter, so I’ll get it booked in and done ready for (hopefully) a more normal year in 2021.
