Southampton Boat Show – Day
One
   Up we got from our single beds, we
went down to a superb breakfast. Told to leave our bags where they were as they
would be moved to our new room. The same room as a pair on a cruise today, tried
to dry some wet trousers on a little heater and set the fire alarm off at seven
a.m. Along the hall were some lovely old pictures of how
Southampton and Shirley looked in days gone by. Our landlady said the
Boat Show was about a twenty minute walk, so off we went.
 We expected a very long queue to get
in but there wasn’t one – very unusual for the first Saturday of the Show.... We
went to most stands on Bear’s list and the few I had on mine. It took us forty
minutes to get back to the taps we had bought and left with the kindly staff as
not to have to carry them all day.......Same old story, we can navigate three
quarters of the way around the world but didn’t know we had to remember which
colour carpet we were on. Well, all the buildings look
the same. Time for a late snack. Pulled pork
roll with apple sauce, the best.
 As I had been a very good girl I was
allowed a Pimm’s o’clock from this fun-shaped
servery.
 Five o’clock and very few people about.
   Well, we’ve seen it all. Saxx. Bimbling about the outer stalls we found this ‘lift and separate’ or is that
‘contain and control’. At twenty pounds a pair
and twenty five for the runners ones, these men's knickers will just have to be
visited, touched and left where we found them.
 Back to our digs with plenty of
reading material from the Boat Show, we found Beds tucked
up in our double bedded en suite – time for a well-earned cup of
tea.
ALL IN ALL NO QUEUES AND
EVERYONE HAD TIME FOR US
AMAZINGLY QUIET BUT THAT MADE IT EASY FOR
