can you spot the bottles of wine in the background , Sam donated them to raise money ( is she MAD giving away alochol )


Once I had finished I popped next door to tell Gina on the Oldies club how to run her stand

I am still working on my Ruff Guide and have done a map of the places I have been
I am going to check the web later ( all of it ) to see if there is a Rough Guide to Huddersfield


I am telling you there is a real gap in the market here

Welcome back to my adventures in Barbados!

After sleeping off my excesses from the night before, we headed out for the day and went to the motor museum. I couldn't drive any of the cars so sat on the bonnets instead!



I tried out one of the old motorbikes but I seem to be facing the wrong way...


After all that motoring history, it was on to Rockley beach. Fabulous... more drinks! And some posing, beachside.


Nice beach, eh?!


In the bar, got caught up with another big fish - I was only trying to be friendly!


On Wednesday, we stopped for lunch at the Round House at Bathsheba. It was extremely windy and too risky for me to pose. There is a very big drop from the verandah!




In the afternoon, I spent some time playing on the beach by our apartment and found these sticky up things to sit on and admire the view across the beach. I think it used to be a jetty...



Back to surfside for more drinks and lunch. And a few more drinks! Very good!



Recovered enough to meet nice man selling jewellery on the beach. Chose on for Wendy. Hope she likes it.. (she does, thank you Sirius!!)


The next day, back at the apartment I was showing off but got my leg stuck. Ooops! Had to be rescued. Will definitely stop drinking...... Soon....


Back at rockley beach


I found treasure!

Well, perhaps not treasure, but actually a spade. I decided it was good for leaning on.


Fell off the wall and helped up by David.... Thank you!

.... Note to self: must stop drinking.


Oops!

After all that excitement, I needed food!


Some monkeys vistied the apartment but they weren't keen to chat. How rude!!



We went visiting on Thursday evening and I made some new friends. Obviously, being such a handsome little chap, the ladies LOVED me!! And wanted to squeeze me. Ouch!





I didn't know why Peachy was laughing at Norma for being so smitten with me.....



All too soon my holiday was nearing the end. I did fit in a bit more R&R at the pool after finding a convenient pair of legs to lounge on while I dried out from a dip in the pool:


Just to make sure my tan was even, I rearranged myself on the lounger and had a little nap.....


All too soon it was time to go back to the airport and catch our plane back to England. Thank you John & Sally, David & Nadean and everyone I met in Barbados who made my holiday so fab. If a little drunken......!

Sirius xx


PS, Anyone want to get me checked in at The Priory??

I arrived in Wiltshire with my travelling companions, John and Sally, to find that I'd been knitted some shorts! I'd also been knitted a man-bag and a Rasta hat, complete with detachable dreadlocks.

I had a feeling this little trip could turn out to be VERY exciting!

And sure enough, after getting up ever so early on Saturday morning, Wendy collected us all and drove us to Gatwick. We were heading for Barbados!!!

The inflight refreshments were to my liking, so I settled down for the long flight:

I *may* have got a little too settled. Or had a lunchtime drink. Then another little drink. Maybe too many drinks! Hic!


After all that, I needed a nap:


David and Nadean collected us from the airport. Boy it was hot!!

After freshening up, there was nothing for it but to head out for dinner and a few little drinkies to a beach bar called Zacchio's




The next day, I was sunbathing at the poolside.

Found a ginormous bottle of rum!


Then the rum found me!

Not very friendly cat back again but I'm not sharing the rum.

Back on the sunlounger to top up the tan

Ooops!




Monday we headed down to Surfside beach bar, a few more drinks!



I took some time out and sheltered under a palm tree for a rest....



After resting, it was back to the beach for another quick drink. You'll notice how I am adaptable to any environment and dress like a local!


Next I found a lamppost to swing off. Unfortunately got stuck and had to be rescued. It was fun though!


Found a bottle of local beer... it's good!

I noticed the sign that said they have Happy Hour here - the way this trip is going, it'll be happy hour all the way!


Then it was time for lunch of fishcakes and fries. Yummy.


Monday evening we went to the Ragamuffin for dinner. I didn't think I would be dinner when the Marlin found me. YIKES!



Back to the apartment to recover.....



I WILL NEVER DRINK AGAIN.

Well, maybe until next time....

And talking of next time, I'll be back tomorrow with the next installment - I had such a busy time in Barbados that I have to blog in stages!!
