The World of Siân

I can’t believe that January is almost over. This year it has gone quick, I normally find that January drags and is a long month. I suppose it has been filled with fun things and excitement. My friends and I started off the Year by going into town in Hobo’s to their cheesy 80’s night; we thought this would be great and reminisced about the horrible 80’s style. We dressed up in our 80’s gear had a few drinks before hand and headed in. Good job we had a couple before we went out, the rest of the people there weren’t dressed up, either too miserable or too young to remember the 80’s. Still we didn’t care, ordered hideously bright coloured cocktails, demanded the 80’s music from the DJ and danced the night away. It was a really good night. Followed by a leap of faith at the end of the evening, I am still hoping this will pay off. Ez and I also re-discovered a local to haunt, this is the Coach in Bridgend which is looking fab after its refurb and what a lovely place to have ...

It was the night before Christmas Eve All the creatures were stirring even the burlesque tease The stockings were hitched up the legs with great care Hoping everyone would be in good cheer. The guests were snuggled and of all ages While visions of steam punk burlesque danced on the stage With people in their fishnets and some with top hats It was a glorious sight as a matter of fact. When from the side of the stage there arose a clatter The band was now playing getting better and better Away to the dance floor we flew like a flash Bopping and jiving with a slight Russian sash. The evening was quick to draw to an end However we made a good couple of friends Their car pulled up and numbers exchanged We had to run to catch our train We were too late as the train just pulled away Another hour we would have to stay To the chippie we went to have our fill Then to the waiting room against our will One more hour our train was delayed, Luckily we were merry so we weren...

Well yes, I have been at it again. The 2nd December my fabulous friend Fordy and I went on a lovely day trip to Bath. We love our girlie day trips and thought we would combine this one with the Christmas market and afternoon tea (of course). As it was a day off from work we allowed ourselves a little lie in so didn’t set off too early, this did mean that we missed all the rush hour traffic and had a lovely drive down to Bath. The weather was nice and bright but it was cold, which got us in the mood for a Christmas market. We arrived at the park and ride and it was full, we drove round trying to find a space, just as we were about to give up and try and find somewhere else, a bus from town pulled up and we were able to follow people off the bus to a parking space. Then came the wait in the queue for a bus, it was so cold and we wished we had layered up a bit more. Luckily we weren’t waiting long and we were on a bus into Bath centre. On arriving we got our bearings and star...
