On the Road to the Concerts

Sat 28th May to Mon 30th May – Moored Waterbeach, River Cam

I was back down in the south of England on Saturday…. At St Mary’s Stadium, the home of Southampton Football Club to see Elton John in concert… Being a Portsmouth supporter, I never ever thought I would see the day that I would venture into that stadium!   It was a fabulous concert, and my daughter, Wendie, and I had a wonderful time, just a couple of rows from the front, the best place to be!

Spending the weekend at Wendie’s house, we had a big family get-together on the Sunday, all four grandchildren enjoying a day in the garden, and a visit from my father for a few hours made it a day to remember.

Leaving the family home on Monday, Wendie and I travelled to London to see Mark Knopfler (vikki’s review is so right) at the Royal Albert Hall… again totally enjoyed.  Wendie and I decided to spoil ourselves and find a place for dinner before the concert… scanning the local map’s adverts for places to eat, I was almost tempted to visit ‘The Phat Phuc Noodle Bar’ just because the name made me laugh so, but we ended up eating at the Royal Albert Hall.. wonderful meal washed down with a good bottle of wine.

By Tuesday late morning I was home… I was knacked!

Decided as it was such a nice day we would pull the pins and travel up the river for a while until we found somewhere we liked eventually deciding to stop at the riverside moorings of The Plough at Fen Ditton.. very nice pub garden… nice setting.  After an evening walk with Lucy,  I suddenly realised that I had left my data lead for the camera still attached to the computer at Wendie’s house!! … so until I get that back to be able to download the pics, my blogs will be pictureless!
