Antonio came back with me from the Blackpool balloon bash.
We did a little twisting last night and went sight seeing up London
today with Olivia and then went to see a show with Club Member
Clair Benjamin being the compere.

It was a very fun day and I will post some pictures tomorrow if I get time.

Just taken Antonio back to the airport, we went up to London one day
sightseeing around Covent Garden with Olivia and then to a show never
to be forgotten. It was an experience and a very fun night.


It was then onto Southsea and a stroll along the front to tick off one of the
sights Antonio has always wanted to see and that is a Hover Craft.

We met up with Rob for a coffee and then it was to the pier for traditional fish and chips.


Then yesterday we went up to Box Hill for a walk around and to enjoy the views and
then onto Wimbledon Theatre to see the 50th anniversary of the musical "Hair"


It was a fun few days, forgot to mention we did a little ballooning on
Monday night when back from Blackpool Balloon Bash.

The water was flowing gently over and down the sculpture, it was very tranquil.

Now I cant say what was happening here but it was very funny.
We passed the Kryolan shop, these are the latest craze in the
balloon world for carrying around the balloons.

We then went to see a little cabaret show that Claire, who is one of
the balloon club members was in. It was an interesting night with
memories that will last forever.

Second picture I think was Kevin, he was very funny on stage with Claire.
Antonio was up on stage joining in.

Claire made Antonio a sword, it was funny.
The star of the show was Paulus who we all enjoyed.

It was then onto Southsea. The fun we had with the dog Ice cream,
we did not know this was a thing. We both tried it and the comments
going about were VERY funny.

Antonio ticking off an item that was on his bucket list, seeing a hovercraft in action.
We found a really nice café to have a coffee with Rob who joined us for an hour.
