I’ve just got back from two holidays, with a three day gap between the two. While it is, of course, nice to have holidays. It’s always a royal pain in the arse when you get back and find that you have a pile of bugs to fix that people found while you’re away. It also doesn’t help that the launch of our biggest website, Swift Leisure, landed two days after my return from my second holiday. So you could cut the tension with a knife when I arrived. Luckily everything went just about to plan, the finished product is at http://www.swiftleisure.com.
For my first holiday, I went down to Cornwall with my girlfriend Sara. Lovely, lovely place and we had gorgeous weather too. Stayed on a nice little converted farm called Badham Farm, really quiet and relaxing. We were only about 20 minutes from the coast and near by towns and only a hour and a half from Lands End too. We visited the Eden Project which is absolutely amazing, unbelievable that they’ve been able to achieve it all. My favorite little excursion was to a cider farm, where you could see all the workings of how they produce cider and various other alcoholic drinks (brand, wine etc…). We brought back a fair few bottles to say the least.
The second holiday was 4 days in a field at Leeds Festival. Once again, fantastic. The bands were varied but mostly good. Iron Maiden were fantastic, as were the Pixes, Queens of the Stone Age and the Foo Fighters. Not really into the “newer” bands that were there though I’m really annoyed I managed to miss Death From Above 1979. I can’t praise those two guys enough… If you haven’t heard of them, get their CD! NOW!
