Mamma Mia.......here we go again!!!

Hi everyone,

Today is a wonderful day for my son Mark..............Mamma Mia has come out on DVD!!!!!

He has been to the cinema to see it twice and just could not wait for the DVD release. We have been having a countdown for about the last three weeks. Naturally Clive had to pop into Tesco at 8 a.m. to get the DVD (and a nice surprise as it was only £7.99 - believe it or not, we sell DVD's and wholesale price is almost double that!!!!).

Instead of working this afternoon, I had a long lunch and watched the film - as already reported by Mark and a friend of mine - it is very entertaining. But I am not ashamed to admit that I have always been an ABBA fan, I will also admit that I am old enough to have been in my 20's when it was in it's prime.

It's nice when your children have the same music taste as yourself. Not sure if my 18 year old son is an ABBA fan (well, he will be 18 on the 18th December), but Mark and my daughter who's 14 love it. (ABBA music is blaring out as I type!). The whole family like Queen, Phil Collins and music of that era - so it's a very happy, full of fun music type of family.

I do also like classical music (the light hearted type) but the 1812 overture has got to be my favourite, so much so it HAS to be played at my funeral* to put a smile on everyones face - they can all picture me with it turned up full volume and holding my imaginary baton (good job I don't have close neighbours!)

*Not planning on having my funeral just yet though!!!

A piece that will always move me is Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Elgar. But music that will always lift any mood, is almost anything from Strauss.

Isn't it funny how you sit down to type your blog and think "what can I type about today?" and I seem to have rattled on about our taste in music. Yet again, no mention of any business promotions - if I was employed I would have had the sack by now!

OK - here's the plug............ why not get your Christmas shopping done at Trewhellows Gift Shop and get in quick as there is 10% discount on all orders £50 & over on until 27th November!

And for the next one................... Fancy a holiday in Cornwall?......then why not come and stay in our luxury self catering Cottage which is ideally situated to visit any part of Cornwall. It's also next door to us, so you could come a see the crazy family for yourself! Rosia Cottage Holidays


Just in case anybody is interested (which I doubt! LOL), I have completed the DLA form for my son Mark (as mentioned in the previous blog) and it was not as bad as the last form I filled in. Apparently, the forms for under 16's are much nastier than the one's for over 16's (unless they have changed them all together). So, I'm feeling a happy bunny yet again!

Until the next blog folks!
