How to describe Butlins? It's a sort of all inclusive holiday resort particularly popular with families. There are shows and entertainment and amusement arcades and pubs and clubs and pools and water slides and go carts and activities and cinemas bowling alleys and you name it, they've got it.
In our 3 days there we did all of those things. We saw Brainiac on stage, Abba, Elvis & Queen tribute shows, Barney & Dora shows, puppet shows, watched Avatar at the cinema. We swam in the heated pools, walked on the beach (Carole even had a paddle), watched the 6 Nations rugby in the pub, rolled in at 2am one night.
Some people seem to think Butlins is a bit of a joke. I just saw lots of families having a great time.

R&R
We are spending a few quiet days in a nice little cottage in Lincolnshire. Just arrived and it's now snowing away outside. The fire is crackling away. And we'll wander up the pub for tea later.
