Well I will have to change my headings as this season is nearly over. So much so that a paella night was organised and the winners of the competitions were to be presented with trophies etc. The weather was definitely in our favour but then Things got worse........firstly not enough tables and chairs outside. OK no big deal we will sit inside..yes it is a big deal said the bar manager-you can only eat outside! They knew how many tickets they had sold and yet there was only seating for half the people! Fortunately it didn't bother me at all as I don't like paella but apparently it was yuk! There wasn't even enough cutlery to eat with! I made the wiser choice of a pizza in the bar and that was fine. It got cooler and people came inside ...not enough seating! Thank goodness we already had a table. I could only describe the singer in one word...dire! Far too loud with equipment that didn't work and worse still it was all ummpah music in dutch! Now I have nothing at all against the dutch but we already have dutch days rammed down our throats every month, dutch evenings, dutch food...heloooooo We are not all dutch and the majority of people here don't understand it! This is not Holland! Its not england either but most people speak bloody english! The worst bit is the beat is all the same. You can't do any dance to it! What a noise. Queues at the bar...well you couldn't even see the bloody thing but worse was to come.....The Marjal Choir?! Yes they are probably very talented but by this time we were all well untruly umpahed/Dutched out and maybe not the right venue. We were all seriously considering giving up on the cheap drinks and the presentations but Roger came to the rescue with his tongue in cheek British choir. We dressed to represent the area of the UK that we were from and the music fitted the theme. Here is our bandmaster
So you can imagine what the choir was like?!
Thanks David for allowing me to copy these pics of Facebook! Didn't we do our County proud?! I'm really convinced that the person in the shower cap dressed as Yorkshire pudding is not my mother and that there must have been a mix up at birth!
You see there were some winners and a serious side but the silliness did take over and certainly made the disastrous night bareable! Today the Country festival starts. This lasts the whole weekend...hmmm wonder if they will line dance in Dutch?!
