As I write this I'm in the car on the way back from a weeks holiday with family in Devon. We were staying in a farmhouse almost identical to that of the ITV series The Darling Buds of May, there was no phone signal or Internet access which was quite refreshing.
There was 13 of us mum, both sisters Carmen and Sonia, Carmens partner Deepak, nephew Ethan, niece Lydia, mums partner Terry, his daughter Jane and also Mark Terrys son and his wife Emma, and their 1 year old daughter Charlotte who live in Australia and of course me and Sarah.
It's the first time I have met Mark, Emma and baby Charlotte. I spent the week with amazing people, drank plenty of alcohol and had some amazing laughs so who needs phone signal or Internet when you have that?
I highly recommend the Eden Project, and also not to be missed is the Big Sheep race featuring Red Ram, Sheergar and Wooly Jumper!
It's 3 weeks to go until tour stop #4 of the 2011 BWPPA tour the Dynamic Billiards Merseyside 9-ball Shootout at Rileys Wavertree so hopefully with the help of Sarah's auntie and uncle I can give the practise table some hammer.
A week after Wavertree the World 9-ball Championship for wheelchair athletes takes place in Kielce, Poland. I was offered a spot but I've done all the sums and I can't afford it and it's short notice to attract sponsors. I'm also trying to raise funds for a Peugeot Independence Premier from Allied Mobility, which would mean both me and Sarah can travel together in our electric wheelchairs.
Before I sign off I've also set up a fantasy football league, £5 entry fee winner takes all and I really need more entries. I'll post details on here shortly, or you can contact me on Facebook, Twitter or email me.
Until next time thanks for reading.
