Yup........... Chances are that we will be going. It is a long time that we attended such an event, and I reckon my wife will find it enjoyable. https://allevents.in/dudley/birmingham-barrio-fiesta-2023/200024599106625
Have a great time if you both go, Dom. My wife doesn't enjoy those fiestas so we never go. She is always working, cooking and looking after the kids Since arriving in the UK she steers clear of her country folk. She met lots of Filipina ladies in Rugby when she arrived but was horrified by the one-upmanship saying "Too much chismis". My wife is a shy province girl by nature.
Don't worry Mike, I do understand. My wife has an extremely close circle of friends of 2 ( one of them with 2 lovely little girls to which I am Godfather to 1 of them}.... with another 2 hovering around from time to time and kept at a safe distance as they do talk BS sometime, and only seem to pop around or make contact when they need something.
We popped over to this as it's only a slow 10 minute drive from us, had a quick walk round, my wife purchased some filipino goodies then the carrier bag started to rip so I took it back to the car and b4 I could return my wife came back to the car and said lets go, so it was more or less one might say a flying visit, she just said as she gets older she doesnt enjoy this type of thing like she used to when she was younger, ohhhh well I guess time waits for no-one.
