So this weekend is the Spice Center Parcs Longleat invasion again, I dont actually think I’ve blogged about this before, but we regularly go to the Spice weekends away at center parcs (Longleat, Oasis and Nottingham). They are just fantastic weekends, although I’m not sure that the other people at center parcs when we are there see it quite in the same way as we do!!!

Probably the best part of the weekend is the Saturday night fancy dress party. It’s always themed, Silver for Oasis 2006, Cartoons for Longleat 2006, and this time for longleat 2007, its ‘America’ .

We always try and have a great time when we’re down there (and if you do see a bunch of loons walking through the main venue… it’s probably us… all 400 odd of us!), and we are friendly as well… at the silver weekend at Oasis I had my photo taken many times with ‘normal’ people at their request.. in fact I think the same thing happened at Longleat last year.. maybe it was the padded muscle suit I was in (that was very warm inside!!).

Another part (at least for some of us) is making sure the villas look good. This is quite as crazy as it sounds.. wandering back at 3am to your villa in the dark often needs assistance.. So we normally light up the villa with outside lights, glow in the dark stars, and inside, I make limited edition DoorStars for anyone sharing with us. We normally have six to a villa, and the doorstars are one per couple/sharers.. odd I know but hey you’re only heading for middle aged once in your life!!!

It’s been a year since the last get together, so this weekend is really going to be a big thing for us.. followed in a week or two by the Halloween party that we’ll be attending again this year in clearwell caves..

Party on..
