All stations go and Butlins here we come!!  Our fantastic holiday began by driving through some beautiful countryside, stopping at a pretty village pub where we sat in the sunny garden and enjoyed lunch.  It was then off to Butlins to settle into our comfortable gold star lodges!  It was a was a bright, warm evening so we strolled along The Prom to a local fish and chip shop for a delicious dinner.  What a cracking way to kick off our holiday!       During our stay, we were zipped and zapped back through time as we watched some absolutely brilliant Tribute bands!  We saw The Beatles, Frankie Valley, Queen and a Motown band.  We boogied the nights away, singing to all the songs we knew.  Some of the acts even came to shake our hands whilst they were on stage - everyone loved the attention from the artists!      We spent a thrilling morning at the funfair on site - what a fun time we had riding the dodgems, ca...
