Sunny Gredos

The weeks seem to fly by at the moment. I've just completed yet another week in sunny Gredos; the weather has been excellent, this time under the wing of Greg as MC and me as his support. However that is until next week (which is only 2 days away), when I will be flying solo in San Zoilo.

This week proved very useful in order to try out ideas and see how the group reacts to different situations and figureheads, I personally thought the group worked very well together. The mix was quite vast from youngsters through to the more mature ;)

Having said that all the groups gave plenty of themselves and each took a turn to shine whether in a 1to1 situation or at the party, in which alcohol always helps (I really MUST learn to dance; although its a great excuse to hold a chica whilst she moves, lol).
The games were very enjoyable and it was great to see so many of you enjoying them and yourselves. One reason I love this program is the fact it helps you loose some of your inhibitions and brings out the real YOU!

I got to perform the neurotic Allan Felix (Woody Allen) in a play and although I kept losing my accent I think I did a good job, Greg seemed happy enough. I also got to act out some sketches I had put together as well as working with the improvisation group - who did me more than proud, well done to you all for having the cojones (balls) to play your roles ;)
I also got to show off my magic skills, which I really enjoyed too.

Yet again another great group, I don't know how it happens each time but it does. I hope to see some if not most of you all again, but don't expect the same program as I aim to keep you on your toes. I only hope I can be as good as you all think I will be; thank you ALL for your encouragement and your participation.

As usual I have posted a collection of photos to remind you of our experience HERE

Back in Sunny England

Just thought I'd add a quick post, just so you know that I'm still alive as well! Well, that's sort of a half truth, cos I've actually lost my voice, and am suffering from my bi-annual chest infection - (i know, i know Mum, i must look after myself better!)....

Anyway, needless to say, our week in Spain was again a wonderful experience - the previous few posts may have been written by Dade, but they echo my thoughts on the week as well and I'm sure you will all see from our photos what a great time we had. For me it was a very different experience to my first Vaughantown trip to Gredos in December - for a start Greg got me performing in not just one, but 4 different roles! including a follow up to my December debut as Woody Allen's suicidal potential date by giving a repeat performance (but don't be jealous Andy, I turned this guy down as well!). We met a great bunch of people, a more varied lot I'd say this time, on both the Anglos and Spaniard side, but we again made contacts I am sure we will be in touch with again in the near future - Thank you all for sharing this week with us.

We made it back to England, to discover it is actually warmer here than it was in Spain - gutted! And the world here had somehow managed to continue ticking without us. Now its back to the daily grind, though my reintroduction has been delayed somewhat by my lack of voice and chesty cough! Dade's back to work today, and I'll be back into it all tomorrow as well...

I guess we have to earn money for our next adventure somehow....
