Please all have fun without me...

I'll be enjoying 5* luxury... ;)

It should be good but no doubt being on island 400 yards by 200 yards will make me restless!

It's not for a TV reality endurance programme, is it?

Much cheaper, and 5 mins from my house, is the Leicester riverside festival. went down yesterday and got nicely lobsterized in the process!
Going again to finish getting cooked, keep working my way through the real ale tent and then onto the row of food stalls. Happy Ben :D
