This year's Notting Hill Gate Carnival was a surprising pleasure. Not only because of the smooth style we glided through the festivities...... lickle bbq at my place with some of the left over Lamb from the Polo, Number 18 Bus with the crew to the heart, crossing the dancers as we made our way to Sancho Panza & Good Times with Norman Jay Sounds systems, Akin's No 10 Goldborne Bar , Party at Westbourne and ending up at a Mad Hatter's Party in Latima Road. No it was particularly impressive and fantastic because of the surprise Guest Star visit from shores afar of my dear cousins Richard from NYC & Peter from Girona along with good friend Brenton from Hong Kong. Needless to say we have a full on itineray of fun and partying. WOW - what a day..... all that walking remionded me of a book by Stephen King called the "Long Walk" not only for the ambling and rambling but also due to us losing people as we got deeper and deeper into the maze that is the Notting Hill Carnival.

Sometimes it is really safe and true for me to say " I LOVE MY JOB" . Thanks to the skills and planning of Alistair and lovely EA Gem Marijka the EA Fun day was a most special experience for the Kids and Parents alike. I went as an "Observer" with my dear wife Paco ( Because of her browness resembling the cartoon character Paco from City Of Gold) and niece Dylan. Early start arriving at Thorpe Park at 9am. All I needed to do was put up some EA Direction signs and I was done. This gave us enough time to explore the park in its fullness. I have to say being in this business I don't usually have to queue for much but queing for 1hr 15mins for the rollercoster ride "SAW" was a strange and interesting experiences. Boy was it worth it. 2 mins of pure adreneline rush was magnificient. Stef and I went on Quantum & Rush . We enjoyed Zodiac with Dylan. I can't believe how much my wife laughed in the face of fear and death. Good on her- loving your braveness Q. After insisting on trying all the great rides - Collossus, Zodiac, No Way Out, Detonator, Nemesis and Vortex...... My favourite was SAW but it left me with a thirst for more danger.Maybe I'll start Bungee jumping again..........
