Good morning Saturday

[JoM]

Ally, I wondered because we always had our Summer holiday in the 70s and early 80s at Butlins, either Minehead or Pwllheli though. It was brilliant! Loads of us would go - my parents, my Nan, aunties and uncles and cousins - and we'd be in adjoining chalets.

Only have to hear Roxy Music's Dance Away and I'm back in Minehead in 79 at the disco (think it was the Beachcomber)

Oh Jen

We've just had a letter saying that Joe's follow up appointment is cancelled, but that's a regular occurrence anyway.

[Ally]

We went to Minehead too Jo - it was fab and had a monorail!

Boy did I love that monorail...making Michele stay on it with me for ages.

Till one day we were on it and it malfunctioned. ie. stopped. I was for climbing down off it and getting on with the day but sis had hysterics making me stay with her.

Think this might have been round about the time I realised I quite liked danger.

Jen, that's awful! I'm really cross on your behalf (((((x))))) I hope talking to Matthew on Monday will help you make a decision xxx

Jo, Ally, we took B and H to Minehead Butlins a couple of times, when they were much younger - they loved it The beach there was nice too

Well we had a good day, Amy got her cushion in Ikea which was surprisingly quiet, popped to Boots for Amy to spend the last of her Christmas money on nail polish and I got final things i needed for baby coming, pet shop for more dog food and got a doggy birthday cake as Murphy is 3 on the 15th then a quick drive-thru McD’s for lunch!

Visited my mum & dad for a few hours and now home in pyjamas resting- not feeling great as my pelvis really aches as theday goes on!

Oh, all the Butlins talk, I remember we took our tourer caravan to Skegness Butlins, I must have been about 9-10, loved it!!! Very happy memories

Oh Jen, that's dreadful

I hope you can get some good answers on Monday xx

You rest Poll, while you can x

Lots of fab Butlins memories on here. Kaz, Minehead beach was really lovely wasn't it!
I remember at Pwllheli that there was a chairlift to the camp's beach and it was quite a long ride to get there but very picturesque. Think there was a little train that took you there too.
