Sheep were up in the top field making a racket, which was nice! Always liked the English countryside. It's something about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2021 Spent the afternoon in a pub beer garden with some friends I hadn't seen for over a year, watching another mate's band. Enjoyably relaxing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly great at it, but nice outdoors on a summer afternoon. There was one drunk in the audience who was shouting "Play some Pink Floyd!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyably relaxing. Sounds good. We had a nice day out yesterday too with friends and went for a meal. Kids all got on and behaved which really helped. First time in ages it felt fairly "normal" to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 We had a quiet one. Done what was needed but generally kept it low key. With had a few busy weekends lately, so was nice to do very little. I find this day and age there’s always pressure to go out and do summat every weekend as a family. Never used to be like that, well not that I remember . Kids get bored too easily nowadays . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were originally going to get married in June 2020 but because of the pandemic we thought we would be all sorted by now. When it was clear that it wasn't going to happen "as planned" we changed it to a small ceremony and a meal with a Reception later in the year when hopefully it has all cleared up. Not sure family were overtly keen as we think they wanted to "show off" a bit but actually worked out nicer for us as meant we could actually spend some time together rather than having to talk to random people. Still knackering though - how the hell people have the energy for a full day I don't know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 @Seat68 I’ve got the day to myself Saturday . Thinking of getting the boogie train over to Stafford. Have you been in the local record shops? I think there’s 2-3 having looked online. Just wondered if any are decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one that was in the market called double double good, it tended to favour shite like Ocean Colour scene and shit that football casuals are into from the 90s. I suppose the name gives it away. They have moved to Mill Street. They do sell a variety though so worth a visit. The other place is an absolute **** nightmare. It might be open, it might not be. It is also rammed to the gills with vinyl. Collectible Records on Wolverhampton Road. Head away past TK Maxx and its a yellow fronted shop round the bend. Absolutely chock full of stuff. If I wasnt out in my van this weekend I would show you the sights. Edited June 30, 2021 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve met the bloke before and he seemed sound enough and is Into classic rock etc. Shame that could have had a few beers with ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is give him a call late morning tomorrow and ask him what time he will be open on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
