An odd title, to be fair. But fitting for our 1-nighter away a couple of weeks ago now, to sunny Worthing (well, almost), making the most of managing to get all three of us together before the Helens start back at school again.<\/p>\n

I found a candle making afternoon to keep us entertained – and actually it was really good! Just the three of us in a little craft studio, pouring wax beads into a hot pot, stirring it round, adding our candle colour of choice (the purple was a bit pale, and rather reminiscent of loo cleaner) and then dripping in essential oils that we liked the smell of. (Did I really just finish a sentence with the word 'of'? My, how my standards are slipping..)<\/p>\n

And as we made each silver tin candle, we added the last quarter to our layered candles and built those up. Emerging with 5-6 candles  - the most for Vickery, determined to get her money's worth even if it meant stranding her car overnight on the wrong side of Worthing!<\/p>\n

Very good value – \u00a345 each for 3 hours, compared to the \u00a3120 pp I saw this for in London. Where we would not have had the fab meal we got at the CrabShack on the sea front, albeit in a howling rainy gale… Thank god for the excellent tent coverage.<\/p>\n

Wandered the now sunny sea front the next morning, spotting a self portrait phot by Janine's brother Tim in an outdoor exhibition, even splashing a huge fiver between us to push 2ps in a pier arcade for old time's sake.. Great to see the girls and stay over in my first guest house since the Scotland bike odyssey.<\/p>\n
