2003

I was only there for Splurge 2 (more or less), and having just got back I'm in serious need of some sleep - but I still have a huge grin on my face.

Send me your stories and photos and I'll showcase them here.

Thanks to those of you that have already started sending things in - photos are all now in the Photo Gallery.

From Yrdeo Klaem:

A poem For the BB2003 page ... enjoy :)

Packed half a dozen pairs of dancing shoes

And fairy clothes galore

Four or five towls , a million plasters

all the clothes i own AND MORE

So.. a suitcase and two holdals

floppy hat and flip-flops with a rose

Get in the car, then on the ferry

B.B Virgin says " here goes"

But where on earth is this place?

The one they call Atherfield Bay

No signs can be found for it anywhere

just farms and fields laden with hay

But eventually we find it ,

much to our delight,

as we spy in the drive way into camp

"beach boogie" on a kite

The chalet, yes, was basic

Tiny and old are more the words

But who goes on a dance hol for a sleep

that would make you quite absurd

Next to the camp

a beautiful chine where i was lucky once to spy

the grandest sunset ever seen

glittering in the sky

Classes all throughout the day

Freestyle all the night

twas only the rotten wimpy people

who didnt dance till morning light

Yes my feet were so covered in blister treatments

that they looked as though they were fake

wearing those brand new ballroom shoes

for hours was such a mistake

but still we struggle on,

and though i could hardly walk

once I heard the music

I just let the jive talk

Until suddenly it was six in the morning

the big night almost gone

danced all night , till early light

grooving to the very last song

Step outside as the music dies away

and am offered a walk home by j

decline as I feel safe alone

the morning is breaking on my new found home

back to the tent

and sit a while

not tired anymore,

i realise with a smile

I opt for quiet contemplation

down beside the beach

upon the holiday of standards

others dance hols just cant reach

my half a dozen pairs of dancing shoes

now resting in their case

fairy dress and fairy wings

all folded back in place

Got the

Blues as the fun is now over

Got the

Blues as its back to reality

but for these days of four

beside the shore

i'v been as happy as a gal can be
