Hi All

What an amazing weekend!!!!

Apart from a very red nose, I've brought back so much. All of it memories. So here goes:

Best act - difficult, but I think Florence and the Machine

I've found someone new to love - Paloma Faith

Could've been disappointing, but definitely wasn't - Paul McCartney. Don't let anyone tell you that old men can't rock! Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hmw9PvI2GI

Best all-round show - definitely Pink - have a look! That was me, glimpsed momentarily behind the yellow flag..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNQapdJ_oYU

Brought a bit of a tear to the eye - Spandau Ballet. Not so long ago Tony Hadley was a has been (remember re-borne in the USA?), but here he was, commanding 50 odd thousand people, many of whom had never heard of Spandau Ballet the first time round. (funny to see Mr Kemp playing a guitar instead of being in Eastenders or being a Kray - but here he was, back to his roots)

And, finally, how does this woman look so good? - Debbie Harry shows the over 60s that life isn't all bus passes http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=A0SO8ZidpRZMhScAHH77w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTBncGdyMzQ0BHNlYwNzZWFyY2gEdnRpZAM-?p=isle+of+wight+2010&fr=chr-yie8&ei=utf-8&fr2=tab-web&n=21&tnr=20&y=Search

Sue (who's sick to the death of eating sausages, but who's back to earth with a bump) xx

You had good weather (for a festival - especially the IOW) - and Blondie is amazing!

Hi Mags

Fingers crossed, but I've always had good weather for the IoW.

Sounds great Spandau Ballet my era but I'm going to see pink in concert on Thursday thanks for the video she looks good !

Sue so good you had a great time.

Strangly OH had thrown a couple of quiz questions at me for GR about Blondie ...Liz they are still safe. She does look good doesn't she and she can sing and play also .....come on newbie girl rockers an example.

Ahh the good old Tony Hadley, explains why a friend of mine did a 2 day turn around flight from Canada to the UK this month. Mr Idol was also in the country and she runs his fan club, but she is in adoration of Tony.

I am most envious of you, mind I would have had to visit mother also, so maybe not lol .

*turns green* and you had good weather ....
