Friday night fight (What a Twit)


We had tickets on Friday night to see a production of Roald Dahl's novel the Twits, the performance was enjoyable though it was Marred by several light showers, and cut slightly short due to Mr Twit actually hitting Mrs Twit in the face with the base of a kettle, in a slap stick role near the end of the show.

The characters Mr and Mrs Twit during their performance at the Minack Theatre, Cornwall


 we spent the night in the Camper on a nearby campsite but strong winds woke us several times in the night.

We decide to spend Saturday in St. Ives but made the decision that we would return home not wanting to risk another  sleepless night in the camper as the weather had not improved any.

Bank Holiday Monday Motors


This weekend we bought the local Cornish newspaper to see what was happening in our area over the Bank holiday weekend.

There was an ad for an event near Redruth which caught my eye, stock car racing, I once worked with a young University Graduate that raced; he was forever telling me what good fun it was so off we went.

We got there the weather was beautiful and at £31 for the four of us the entrance fee was a bargain.

Once in there the racing commenced.  We watched everything from stock cars, mini’s, old bangers and even buses race.

My youngest had the ability to select most of the winners, while it seemed I had the ability to pick the ones that caught fire, lost wheels and even flipped over.





 
All in all we had a great day.

Friday Evening Events


I started my new job last week and enjoyed getting to know my new work mates as well as the customers, both regular and the ones on holiday.

However the highlight of the week for me was finishing work on Friday at 6pm being able to walk home in less than 10 minutes, quick change a couple of drinks in the local followed by stroll on the beach eating fish and chips.  How different from the working day back in Lancashire.
