Should be annoying…
Do a quick run to Carrefour for bread & stuff for salad for dinner.
Take 1 bag.
My favourite local IPA is on half price promotion. Theres a cricket match on Sunday.
beer bottles in jacket & trouser pockets.
(1 beer was cheaper than 1 bag. Which to choose?)

Sent an email by my dad about the family tree and better confirmation I am related to Benedict Cumberbatch! The tree goes back to 1511. One of my ancestors was on the Mayflower (as crew) and stayed and I have a whole line of ancestors in Boston. Interesting stuff (apparently not for my partner whilst he’s watching Tennis).

1st Salt mine tourist run this morning went great.
This afternoon Bolechowice village party Mrs P_Fs home.
Some famous national pop band playing later and a meet the players stand with Wisla Krakow. Now that was fun, I’m ITK about a big signing someone like Wichkowski. Lots of talk about Saints and an invite to their 1st game next Saturday.
Cool.
Now for the beer tent
(Just getting started)
No, their CB’s aren’t good enough for L1 in Poland let alone us according to locals…

Polish band walk on stage at village fete yawn
Burst into All Right Now followed by Smoke on the Water and a rock version of Billy Jean.
Result.
The Wine:
Signed 1st team shirts sold for an average of £30. Considering what we charge for a shirt that’s a bargain.
So we bought a framed photograph of the village for £4 instead #earlyxmaspresent
Sweaty spokor?

PMSL. Pics tomorrow.
This is THE most English thing ever.
Village fete & it is absolutely fvcking pissing down. Full Monsoon complete with mega lightning show.
Luckily Dad in law had been to village shop for beers for tomorrow. No chance of leaving the tent without scuba gear so drinking his tinnies.
Band has gone full disco polo. Paramedics trying to revive some drowned kids who tried to dance.
We are so gonna miss the last bus home. Think I can still float on my back & swim 6kms.
Loving it.
Update. Think Wisla’s CB may be a drowning victim.
Trying to convince their manager (wedged in the tent with me) to sign Hoedt on loan…
See this annoys me… others do this ancestry nonsense and unearth a load of cool relatives… when I did it, mine were bunch of shadey chimney sweeps from Suffolk - bloody lowest of low working class!!! one who was ‘exported’ to Australia but dies in route… and another who went to Aus in 1902 and must have been incredibly fecund as we have more unknown relies over there than are left in UK… the German side mostly killed in wars…
In what version of any reality would anyone book a Polish language Reggae Rap artist to close out the fete?
Worryingly, hes really good
We have family in Suffolk on my mum’s side. If we are related you get all the cool bits of my family tree. Sort of.
If you both have family in Suffolk then you almost certainly will be related.

Mine originally came down from Scotland.
A cousin did marry a cousin…
Safe to say that your family broadened the gene pool quite considerably then! I have an aunt who lives in Norfolk - she’s from the Lake District and her husband was a Scot. Their offspring (two daughters and a son) have at least ten children between them (probably more), so they’ve done an excellent job in the county next door.
