me and sash home alone

well living on the isle of wight we have the pop festival that started to day,normally they have around 50,000 festival goers but this year have added an extra 20,000!any one thats been to the island knows that its not a big place and all those extra people makes getting around a pain,well its been raining for the last couple of days and the site is like a mud bath,not my idea of fun but that must be a age thing .well the traffic has been a nightmare,a 20 min drive took 5 hours ,buses have been cancelled and the ferrys are running 3 hours late.my hubby works on the main land and cant get home so is staying over,my 18 year old son has gone awol,prob up the festival drunk ,so just me and sash,think thats good really!

Lol! Oh mud puddles look SO much fun. Why don't you and sasha go mud swimming haha

Ooooohhhh make the most of the peace and quiet, do you have a bottle of vino in

always have a little bottle of some thing at hand
when i was 18 i'd have been mud swimming n loved it ,like my home comforts now,u'd have to be totally of your face to be camping in that for the week end!

So do you live around Newport (that is where the festival is , isn't it ??

Been once, its great!!

You think you've got it bad, we have the bloody olympics to deal with

yeap we in Newport bout 10 mins from the site,its good if the winds blowing the right way cos you can hear the bands really well!feel so sorry for em cos the weathers so rubbish.

Last time I was there would be about 4 years ago probably , I installed their TRUMPF laser when it was new about 8 years ago . 2 years in a row I came over in Summer and did the service on the machine in exchange for a free week camping on the company with the family at Whitecliff Bay. Only pain about the place was always getting there but I always took the Red Funnel from Southampton as I had to drive 3.5 /4 hrs down and I got a longer break that way.

The only names I remember from there now would be the directors , and the operator Ben

Red funnel ferrys take the longest to get to the island,just under an hour,goes so slow,hubby goes portsmouth way just over half an hour,small world eh!

Think we have another customer in Newport now as well , Island Sheet Metal ???

have heard of it,mmm sheet metal not my thing really!
