FRIDAY
It feels like a very long time ago already when we set of for the "Deep South" on our Mini-Tour, but here in glorious technocolour is a selection of some of the best bits of our trip. No doubt many more photos exist but they will escape into the wild in their own time.
Here we are, the "South" Van prepares to leave with due ceremony - there is always one stealing the show and it is quite often Lars...
Arriving at our first stop at the Fleet Air Arm Museum (we know people and there were lots of fascinating machines for the engineeringly inclined) our tour mascots Mini(on) Bob, Little Chris and Mini(on) Kevin look to be enjoying themselves.
Separated at birth? We sang under one of these pointy objects....
And here we are at our first gig of the trip at the beautiful St John's Church in Totnes where we sang with the equally beautiful Glorious Chorus - cracking show and fantastic "Afters".
SATURDAY
Soon after a member of our crew was seen making a break for it...
But eventually after yet more food we made it safely to Port Isaac and our first show in Cornwall at the Village hall there.
Accompanied by the lovely ladies from Gulls who put on a great show for us and sang us their very own version of Nothing Like a Bloke dedicated to little old us.
We even made a (fishermen's) friend or two with another glorious "Afters" session with Gulls and their special friends.
SUNDAY
And we started singing early in the morning - their mum (who was conducting Gulls) loved it, her two older daughters were not so sure, having absorbed those warnings about strange men singing to you early on a Sunday morning in a caravan park...
After a brief spot of exercise and singing to youths on the beach it was time for another well earned spot of nosh and chance to enjoy some more fabulous Cornish hospitality, as witnessed by a very happy Tour Organiser.
And the singing continues with Gulls in action at The Waterfront in Polzeath, cracking venue.
With many men gazing on, enjoying the show...
Although there are "concerns" we could be viewed as a "Tribute group" - but that is nothing to be ashamed about as it is a terrific ale...
Only to be matched by trying one or two others for as you can see there was a lot of singing to be done and as we know, 'tis thirst-making work
And finally, a Magnificent video made for us by Chris at Soundview.
THE END
