ANOTHER Bank Holiday weekend? Oh, go on then. I hope those of you that actually gets an extra day off gets to enjoy it, and as someone for whom 'Bank Holiday' has never really meant anything other than extra work, I assure you I am not envious in the slightest.
We are, of course, doing a few special things around our sites to mark the occasion of King Charles III officially ascending to the throne tomorrow. We've put up enough flags and bunting to cover every inch of the British Isles, we are showing the ceremony on the big screens in our bars, and on Sunday we're having an 'Onsite Street Party' where all the residents and visitors are welcome to join us for free scones and Prosecco and where a local duo will be regaling us all with songs. Rory, of course, was left to organise everything and Gavin, of course, whiffed at the expense, but this is nothing unusual. It's a little dance that we have to do every time I want to spend some money and it has become a familiar and comfortable little part of our worklife. The good thing is that every event I put together seems to go down very well, and so far they have all had great feedback from the attendees, so he is realising that these things are worth the extra effort and the minimal extra expense and he is more likely to let me get on with it now.
Hmmm, if this weekend flies, maybe I can try again to get him to say 'Yes' to my dream of a massive Bonfire Night party... He's been very anti-fireworks for the past two years, but maybe he might soften now I've proved myself a capable and safe event co-ordinator...
Right, I'm putting that into the diary for next week - 'Pester The Boss Til He Ok's A Display In November'...
