Home from a very fun 80s music weekend at Butlin's, Skegness.

Nearby apartments (who had only brought booze with them...) thought we were posh for having homemade food 🤣🙃

Careful pacing meant I managed to see: The Fizz, Hue & Cry, Living in a Box, Tony Hadley & Musical Youth.

Lovely to see old friends (meet some in person for the first time!), meet new friends & have an @obversebooks.co.uk author meet-up at Whooverville 16. 💜

Now to hydrate, take all the painkillers & then lie down.

The 30yr old TARDIS earrings came out of retirement for the occasion...
