Travels With The Corrds

Blackpool again, and unfortunately it looked like we'd seen the last of the nice weather for a while...

After a rainy drive, we arrived at Cala Gran Havens and were greeted by a member of staff as we were loading in, who brought some coffee and gave us the key.

After loading in, we girls went for supplies to the shop, and then went to the caravan, all wrapped up like Arabs and Eskimos against the rain (which plays havoc with artificially straightened curly hair, obviously).

After we put food in the oven (improvising very well with dishes and utensils), we got the fire on and got ourselves settled. I went for another long session on the phone in one of the cold rooms, after which we had our food and then a good, long, girly chat, before being joined by Derek. After the conversation took many interesting and lively turns, we got ourselves ready and went back to the Showbar to get changed.

Back in the dressing room, we had a good half hour before stage-time, so Andrea and I went to the shop for some 'pick-n-mix' sweets (avoiding the groups of young children - and, surprisingly, one parent - who were brazenly stealing most of it without anyone taking notice). Back in the dressing room we tucked into our sweets (which we paid for, by the way) and then went out to do the show.

Another great audience, all happily stuffed with Easter Sunday Chocolate, and quite a lot of funny things on stage, too - like something interesting that was going on with Sadie's trousers, amongst quite a few other funnies. By the way, check out the 'feet' pictures below - that first 'feet pic' is actually Andrea's feet - I thought some people might be interested to see the unusual drumming footwear she uses for gigs!

After the set we loaded out with some difficulty - as the get in here isn't too good because of the bollards which mean we can't back the van up to the door and therefore have to trek a bit from the stage to the door (weaving big, heavy speakers around small children), and then from the door to the road where the van is. Got it all sorted eventually, though and we were off home again, with Sadie trying to get me back for all the bad moments I catch everyone in with my camera!
