Off on hockey tour

Off to Worthing this bank holiday for my first hockey tour since I organised one in Devon for Charlie's stag do 18 months ago.

We are visiting the South coast mixed hockey festival with 10 men from at least four different hockey clubs around the South East - A & C, Canterbury, Aylesbury, Tring (possibly) and I think Georgonians somewhere near Weybridge...maybe. We only have four ladies unfortunately - not to worry i'm sure we can 'acquire some' to help us out or play with six men.

I haven't tested my hamstring since I pulled it the day of the dinner and dance - so I'm wondering whether I'll leave the festival bar at any point. I have also purchased a hawaiian outfit for the Saturday night fancy dress - hopefully most of the team - the Questionables - will be wearing it.

Speaking of South Coast, we popped down to Eastbourne last weekend - and had a lovely time too. We were trying to teach Rebecca how to cycle on the grass - and she managed to make it most of the way across which is pretty tricky. She was keen to carry on so will have to sort it out at home. We also had a lovely walk on the Downs in Friston -
stunning views, and some paddling in the sea which R & J loved. R is always on a creative lookout and she pulled together a load of seaweed and made a face.

Charlie also flew off to Australia on Saturday - good luck to him and Annalisa.
