Saturday 6th August, a beautiful Summer’s day and what made it more special was that I was going to see Peter perform today at Milton Keynes . I had not seen Peter perform in over 3 months, so I was very excited!

I parked up in the car park, near to the entrance, so that Debs, who was driving, would easily find me when she drove through. After about 15 minutes, I received a text from Lili, saying “ Hilary we are so late. Tis my fault I think. We’ll be there as soon as we can.” That was at 11.16am . At 12.13pm Lili sent another text to say they should not be too much longer! So I waited and waited and then at 12.40pm another text, saying traffic very bad. Eventually at 1.15pm Debs drove into the car park! They were just over two hours late, but it did not matter, I understand these things like traffic and not knowing what to wear (Lili)!

I got out of the car and went over to say hello to Cazza . It was lovely to meet another forum member and not forgetting one of our younger members Lucas. I was most impressed Lucas was wearing his Peter Andre t-shirt, I felt jealous and wanted one!

We walked into the Xscape building and our first priority was to find where Peter would be performing at the Beach Party. We walked through the centre until we noticed some doors, leading to outside and what appeared to be the Beach Party. There was a “man-made beach” in a small enclosure, with buckets and spades and a stage with plastic Palms! Well they did try! Debs approached a guy and asked what time Peter would be performing. They said around 3.00pm . We decided to get some lunch and made our way back into the Centre.

At this point a “Pirate” took to the stage and was asking “who wants to see Peter?”. The crowd responded and eventually we were all singing along to Mysterious Girl. He had a competition going saying that someone could meet Peter Andre, they just had to build a sand castle! Some people rushed over to the beach area, but there was no-way any of us was going, as we were in the centre front row! Eventually Pirate Stephen took four ladies to the stage. He got them individually to sing parts of Mysterious Girl and then the audience had to cheer who they thought was the best. A young girl was picked and then taken off the stage.

Our Pirate friend then came back on stage and announced that Peter would be doing a signing inside the Centre. I did not know Peter was doing this, so it was exciting to think I was now going to have a few words with the “man” himself.

We stayed in the centre until Peter left and then we made our way back to the car park. We noticed their brand new Aston Martin parked up in the staff car park, what a beautiful car, for a beautiful couple! It had been a fantastic day, Peter had performed brilliantly, even though he had not been feeling well. I just cannot wait to see him perform again. I just hope that I do not have to wait too long.!

Thanks to Debs, Lucas, (who was such a good boy and a credit to you, Debs), Lili, Cazza and of course Peter!
