Mini Adventures

So. I had a spur of the moment mini adventure to Littlehampton to see my awesome and incredibly beautiful friend Cassie.
This gal is a Jiving Queen! and I hadn't seen her since before she popped out little Jaxson. So I got on the ferry and had a short train ride (well, 2) to Littlehampton. I forgot that people still look at you weird if you have blue hair and like Rockabilly... anyways Cass picked me up in her car and we got some food- I introduced her to the wonder of pastrami,gherkin & American mustard subs. (You're welcome) we drank a little rum whilst getting ready, then headed on over to Worthing for this:
Now it was quite 'swingy' as there was a whole bunch of swing and Jive bands. Not a bad thing, unless you like the fast Rockabilly Jive.. which we do! My friend Andy from the IOW was there too & finally got to dance with Cass (he'd been going on about it for AGES)

So he was quite happy! I also got to dance with the lovely Colin from Brighton Jive and didn't completely mess it up! We did get a little bored of the lack of strolling, besides that kicky leg s**t as we call it (Charleston stroll), so we decided to  have a stroll in the toilets and outside. Standard behaviour...

We headed home around 11ish- we just aren't as hardcore as we used to be, but we had been there since 4!

So glad I made the effort and went to see this gal. We jived, we drank, we had fun. That's the main thing. And fingers crossed, we will be doing it all again for The Rockabilly Rave in June :D

In case you wanted to be scared, here's me holding a baby...
Hungover and sleep deprived, the kid was smiling ;) he was OK. I'm still not having one though. Ever.
So, that's pretty much been the excitement. My car is still broken, so just waiting to hear about the expense. Happy thoughts though. Canada in 32 days!!
