Happy Days

Just found this article I wrote sitting in my draft folder of the day I spent with the seals at Donna Nook in November 2011. The pictures in the video are the ones I took that day.

Just days after we had been to Donna Nook a high tide swept in and the seal colony suffered with the deaths of an estimated 100 pups drowning in the high waters, these were a small loss to the over all 2,000ish pups that are born at Donna Nook each year, but it was still very sad.

The best spectacle to see here in Lincolnshire England in Autumn/Winter from October to December is the Grey Seals and there new-born pups at Donna Nook beach.

Had a great time at the Chinese State Circus

My hubby got pulled up on stage to perform with the monkey king and 3 other unsuspecting men.

My hubby shone, he was amazing and made everyone in the theatre laugh the other men on stage just did as they were told my hubby was unique and memorable.

The four men including my husband stood in a line facing the audience my better half was second in line. The challenge was to copy the monkey king and do what he did. The young man at the front of the line was given a really complicated kung fu moves which included spinning around after he had done it the monkey approached my hubby so he grabbed the man standing next to him and swapped places with him lol…

I’ve been busy making videos of the beach race I took last weekend.

It takes ages to sort out, edit, re size and make a video, been swamped I took over 1,000 picture over the two days of motocross racing.

We were absolutely gob smacked by the performers in Cirque Du Ciel show Shanghai.

OMG totally out of this world.

It was that good I can only tell you how good it is in sound bits, so here it goes the show was:

Mind Blowing, unbelievable, astonishing, jaw dropping, absolutely phenomenal, breathtaking, exciting, dazzling, one hell of a show, never to be missed, experience of a life time

You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen these guy and gals live

The acrobatics was Awesome! never seen anything quite like it, I saw the Chinese State Circus at the theatre a few years back, they where good and magical, but Cirque Du Ciel are on another level.

We went to see sponge fest the other day it was awesome

Our cheeks were hurting after the show from all the smiling and laughing, I don’t think our faces dropped once during the show, so much fun.

Paul Zerdin is a ventriloquist and sponge fest is a great family comedy show with the main stars being of the spongy kind.

Paul’s amazing talent brought to life Sam, Albert and baby and transported us all to a world of make believe and laughs.

The whole audience was lively throughout the show, I loved it when Paul as part of his act with baby shouted boo and a little kid in the audience yelled ‘argh’! LOL.

We were on a midnight walk walking down south parade when the Illuminations came on

They were testing them for the illuminations switch on in preparation for this Saturday and we got to see them.

It was like they came on especially for us, one minute we were walking with the street lights blurring orange the next we were bathed in multicoloured lights, it was awesome

There’s some new Illumination down on South Parade there really nice, so do yourself a favour and go on an Skegness Illuminations walk with the kids it’ll be a great evening of family fun, I think I’ll get some video this year of the Lights around Skeg.

OK so there was loads to see at the Skegness SO Festival in 2011, the big shows might have been a bit disappointing but the smaller street theatre, art and live music on Tower Gardens was awesome.

Funny show we saw was strictly dumb prancing, this talented duo had everyone laughing
A really good little performance and one I’m glad I didn’t miss.

We did miss a few small shows during the SO Festival, but strictly dumb prancing made up for it

Check out their website at www.strictlydumbprancing.co.uk I loved their Biographies, it’s always interesting to read about performers lives and how they got where they are today.

Skegness SO Festival is an official partner of the 2012 Olympics and we got the opertunity to see a taster of the performances that will take place during the London Olympics.

One of these shows was Games Time, the fireworks was good the costumes nice, the rest, oh dear! …. since this is an happy blog I’ll leave it at that

I got some good photographs, even though I was right at the back of the crowd.

One of the big evening events during the Skegness SO Festival was World Famous Firework Performance – All Hands.

It was OK, nice fireworks and I do love me fireworks so it wasn’t a complete wash out, didn’t understand the message of the show All Hands at one point a washing line was strung across the stage, what was all that about?

There was some nice undies up there though, lovely pairs of pants and a fetching red bra

We missed a good part of the show because we where in the middle of the crowd and apparently most of the action was on the floor at the front?
