More walking, this time around the orchards. We were thinking of going to Reculver but it looked as if it may rain and so changed our minds. There were quite a few rabbits around, which Ellie was very interested in.
In the evening we went to Broadstairs Blues Bash. The Blues Band were headlining the whole weekend. I managed to get tickets a long time ago. A weird system of paying by Paypal and then taking along your receipt and a form of ID. Last week I received an email saying they now predicted a bun fight so had allocated us seats L8&9. No information on a start time so I looked on the website. A 7.30 start. Because of the distance and parking problems, we arrived at 7. They wouldn’t let us in, saying it was now going to start at 8pm! Chatting to people in the queue, not all the other people had been allocated seats, so we had to wait while a representative sorted everyone out! We eventually were let in only to discover that our seats were one row from the back and the bar was right behind us. Never mind. Well, we wouldn’t have, had we not had an enormous air con unit blowing very cold air on to our backs. The guy I was sitting next to went to the bar and asked them to turn it off as we were freezing. They did, for 10 minutes and then we spent the rest of the concert with our coats back on!
The concert started at 8.30 but the people at the bar didn’t stop talking/laughing/shouting and of course that was just behind us. Even Paul Jones got a bit miffed about it. The Blues Band are excellent, considering Paul Jones is 73 and Tom McGuiness 74 and their music great. However it would have been even better had they changed their set, even slightly from when we saw them last year!! Even the same jokes. Brilliant music, shame about the rest!
