Another long & busy weekend, this time 3 days to fill, as Monday was a bank holiday. (ok, and yes, I know, it’s already Wednesday so a bit late for weekend recap, but where did the time go??!)Saturday started not only with sunshine, but also with a pleasant little fete right on our doorstep – well, on the Green to be specific. How could we give it a miss? After leisurely read of the papers, we wandered over for a lazy trawl through various charity stalls and game booths, munched on hot dogs & burgers, and generally enjoyed the atmosphere (though we did pass by the flower show, not really our thing!)
That evening it was into town for tapas treats followed by a little Lon
don culture – in the form of Miss Coco, Coco Peru... (sung to the tune of Roxie Hart). Drag queen, monologist (make that mono-luger), balladeer, and all around raconteur, she entertained us and the whole theatre with amusing stories and observations, interspersed with appropriate songs (aforementioned Chicago piece, a few Disney selections, and of course the fabulous Dolly Parton). Definitely a recommended evening, and Pete & Ashley got in the spirit beforehand with their special matching Miss Coco cocktails...

Can you sense an outdoor theme to the weekend? Who knows how long the sun will be here this time, we’ve got to take it while we can.
Monday we did duck inside for a little while at least – for an afternoon of Bourne, Jason Bourne. Enjoyed the Bourne Ultimatum, as all the reviews have said, fast paced, Matt Damon’s great in the role, and we also tried to track how many of the cities he visited we’d been to as well (ooh! There’s Madrid! Hey – look – Waterloo Station! New York! We’re going to New York on Friday! Moscow! Er... nyet on that one)
3 days o’ fun – not bad for the last bank holiday weekend...
