OK, so I’m back from seeing Robbie. What can I say? The concert was absolutely fantastic! There was disappointment (from me) that Orson didn’t play and that instead there was some crappy DJ, and Basement Jaxx were very good, but they aren’t really my cup of tea but Robbie was amazing and completely made up for the boredom of 9 hours of waiting, and believe me I was bored. The waiting time wasn’t helped by the onset of a nasty migraine which fortunately my wonder drugs cleared up, and luckily I had bought a pink suedette and feather flashing Stetson (yep it’s fab and nope I’m not posting a picture) which kept the worst of the unexpected sun off my head - the middle of a field in bright sunshine with no shade is NOT the ideal place for a migraine to occur!
Our tickets were for the hallowed 'Golden Circle' – absolutely brilliant for being close to the stage, and we were very close (although being short I had to stand towards the back when the concert started in order to see the people on stage), but unfortunately completely rubbish for getting to food, drink and toilets quickly.
The pictures were taken with my mobile phone, having left my camera at home as I thought I wouldn’t get it in (there actually would have been no problem) so aren’t as good as they could have been, but they do give an idea of the set … and you can even see Robbie if you have very good eyesight *LOL*
Thank you Robbie for a fantastic evening – I hope you get a good rest when you finish your tour … you definitely deserve it, and I think you definitely need it!

Getting back there was just time for a quick change and then it was off to Bluewater to meet up with Mrs Hasselhoff. The Hoff was doing a book signing of his autobiography at Waterstones and it was obviously vitally important that I be there to give her moral support whilst waiting to meeting him (and of course I wanted my book signed too). I was very impressed by the t shirt that she had customised in Diamante, very subtle but quite clearly showed how much of a fan she is. We queued for about 3 hours, along with many other people (far more than I had expected tbh) and eventually got our 30 seconds each with the great man himself. Lisa had asked for him to dedicate her book to ‘Gorgeous’ which gained a laugh and a comment from the Hoff – more feedback than anyone else in the shop received … so we left happy that she’d made her mark. Photo will follow when Mrs H gets her act together ;)
