ABOUT 'PONTINS' Holidays...
My life in 2023? Well let me take you back to my childhood. We never had a lot of vacations when I was young. We were not 'poor' but going away wasn't something that we really did as a family. Except for once a year. At Xmas...
There was this place that was like a stately home - Barton Hall - See pic & Link. It was just down the road really. About half an hours travel, but it could have been miles away - It was like another world...
We would arrive the night before Xmas Eve & stay until just before New Year. So almost no sooner had I arrived, then the main event, 'Xmas Day' was over and done with, and then there was like this 'Lull' before the new year came along, & we returned home, when time kinda stood still...
Those few days were my favourite part of the year! Why? Well, I was somewhere that I really like to be. I had zero worries, responsibilities, & I could truly just do whatever I wanted to do, from morning to night. I'd received some money for Xmas (Not a fortune, but enough for a child) yet I had no where really to spend it, so by default, for a week or so, I was 'Rich'...
Likewise, I had always got some stuff I had wanted for Xmas, so I didnt really 'want' for anything either - I had everything I wanted (My 'Toys') and I had a free week to enjoy them... I was truly happy in that week, before the new year... Best part of my life that week was as a kid...
So, whats that to do with 2023?
Well that 'week' has expanded to being all year round these days. In 2023, I've managed after a LOT of hard work, to make that feeling I used to get, on that last week of the year as a child, the 'Status Quo' - So I feel like that all year round... Plus I also get to poost about poo on GFY too - So that's a bonus I didn't have when I was little...
So no worries, no responsibilities, do whatever the fuck I like, plenty of toys & no money worries... Thats my life in 2023...
