"Summertime” (sing with me) "and the livin' is easy” ...

I am so glad however; that the weather held off for the annual Peace Festival in Leamington. We had a mixed forecast but luckily for the stall holders, acts and punters enjoying various food delights, face-painting and soft drinks (mostly) the rain held off.

Everyone seemed to be in high-spirts, with the usual peace-loving party-goers enjoying themselves wearing next to nothing at the front of the stage. I went along and watched a great reggae band and those of you who had a lie in or breakfast in bed on Father's Day missed out on my friend Jess who was singing with a group called 'Songlines'at 10.45 on the Sunday morning. They certainly brightened up the day.

What I love about the Peace Fest, is that the whole town comes together, whether you call in for a quick half an hour on your lunch break or wander around with the family, usually more so when the sun is out admittedly, but it's a time to relax, forget your troubles, listen to some live music and an excuse to buy a friendship band.

I've been getting up at the crack of dawn in our new house, sitting out on the decking until the new patio furniture arrives but generally life is great. Apart from the other day when had a nasty bug. I got over it soon enough but felt very weak and the cupboards were bare. I am a really fussy eater and I fancied something warm and tasty. Lasagne. That's what I fancied. So I went to the supermarket in my weakened state (can you hear the violins?) and slowly packed my basket on wheels full of the ingredients plus a few extras. I got to the 'check-out' and slowly unpacked my goods, waiting for the usual offer from the check out girl "Would you like a hand with your packing?'. This bubbly brunette smiled and quietly waited while I took a little while to off load. But the offer never came. I was so frustrated. It was the only bloomin' time I wanted it!

Check me out tomorrow from 10am-2pm.
