Nothing to do with Egypt Part 2....

[Christine]

And thats because it IS nothing to with Egypt.
Im going to the Lake District with 3 service users starting on 22-8-10 for a week for thier annual holiday this year, if you remember i brought 4 of em to Hurghada last year, so a very similar holiday this time ............... not
In actual fact we are all quite looking forward to it, one gets so bored jet setting all the time
Pray for us that the crappy weather improves or i shall be bald by my return having torn my hair out thinking up things to do where they dont get wet!!
I swear they all reckon they would shrink in the rain
Another staff member is joiing us, his name is Jason, so in all there will be five this time, one less than last year ..........bliss !!
We are travelling with Alfa Tours ( coach thingy) and we have tours included in the cost, ha ha they are all outdoor tours, 2 of em are boat trips ...........mmmm............... moist then i should think one way and another, another tour is to the lights and delights of Barrow-in-furrness, (dont know how to spell it) which i believe to be an industrial site :yawn: , at which point i think i might slip away and find a sticky bun or 3 and a coffee somewhere
So if im silent on here between those dates thats why, so anyone having a horrible time and having to work hard during that week........... TOUGH!! so am I

[Susue]

It sounds like a lot of work, Chris....
I hope the weather holds out for you!!

I used to have a friend that thought she would dissolve if she got wet...it was a real pain in the bum making any plans wit her!!!

[Christine]

Have a wonderful time its beauty down there ....and be safe xxxxxxxxxxx

[Christine]

Well we are back all safe and sound, no injuries, no accidents the weather held and we had fun, the hotel catered for your older client if you get my meaning but they were a right bunch of naughties the whole lot of em so we enjoyed thier company we had nightly entertainment singers mostly, you know the sort the lounge singer, but they were good, so it was a sing song or a very strange kind of karioki most nights, our folk availed themselves of a well stocked bar and like magic turned into thier own versions of kylie, tom jones and elvis, now i would say it was bliss to the ears but trust me on this one it seriously wasnt.
But by the time all the hearing aids in the audience had been tuned in , no one cared
Some lovely scenery on the day trips into the lake district proper tho, and i intend to go back, soon as well, before the weather takes a turn for the worst i think and before the last of our singers buggers off to Las vegas for his winter season, he was very good so i will keep you all posted..................
