Ten years later and The Michael Jackson dot tribute which back in 2009 was a worldwide effort to support artist David IIlan to produce a work of art of Michael Jackson.(BELOW- My personal Michael Jackson portrait dot certificate 2009) of which you can Google the website @www.michaeljacksontributeportrait.comTo see the final piece of dot artwork 
One dot = one fan
Usually over the bank holiday back ten years ago im usually at the local Dartmouth regatta,
Instead I was booking last minute hotels, package deals and thriller live event tickets.(BELOW- The Tribute wall @ 02 arena)!
Has we know in 2009 most fans dropped everything (including myself ,my 3 girls and my mum ) if they could be there the fans was there, this also included dropping dartmouth local events to be at London 02 arena over August bank holiday 2009,
Has already blogged previously London was packed with Michael Jackson fans you can Google over youtubeLondon st James park London Trafalgar SquareAndLondon 02 arenaTo see the Loving memories and tributes of 2009
We also went to Buckingham palace 2009 You can Google the queen’s guards playing variouse Michael Jackson tributes via the queen’s bandAlsothe amazing and world famous Ohio state marine band during the Superbowl – A tribute to Michael JacksonThree weeks after the bank holiday 2009 at the age if 32, I don’t know why from the age of 2 back in the 80’s my parents bothered to take me the dentist, has I would come back to Dartmouth after a lovely bank holiday 2009 in london go to a dentist appointment for a filling and wake up in a hospital in Plymouth3 years after waiting on a waiting list for the filling to be sorted I had to have all teeth removed the damage from the wait for a filling was shocking !Ten years later 2019 and still no explanation of why that happened in a dentist chair!(see 2009 BBC news story on NHS dentistry damage via a filling to a Scottish under 35 year old female)THIS IS IT!!!!
Whilst sat eating sandwiches down Buckingham Palace with my girls, I happen to feel a few drops if rain
I looked up and thought
“where’s your roof gone your majesty” 🤔😶
The stay in Drakewalls B&B i can recommend to anyone, a friendly , cosy B&B , a short walk of 5 mins maybe 10 mins from gunnislake train statioyn, has very cosy rooms and a cottage kinda feel to it, the mini market is 5 mins away. The breakfast is very nice not to much and not to little. Enough to keep your tummy going till teaDave’s chip stop a lovely little fish and chip shop i can recomnend the battered sausage , chips are lovely not greasy abd not to dry,
My first day at Gunnislake i went for a walk to the donkey park at Tamar valley , about 20 minutes and a lovely walk that connects one village to the next i thought was quite funny, how 10 mins later i came out the same place has i started but yet had walked through a village or two,I couldnt stop giggling at this statue , its got to be the funniest iv’e ever seen of history, the mining pitman statue go’s back to 19th century and the Tamar valley mining industry, in 1930 arsenic was still being produced at Greenhill, in Gunnislake, an amazing little village,
Tamar valley donkey park- not a bad admission price, £10 just short of for an adult , i think a family of 4 it was £20-25 seemed abit silly me, myself and i paying £10 just to stroke a donkey hehehe, so i took a video of the Tamar donkeys in the field instead.
The warm spring day had me stopping off that evening at a lovely pub called The vollenteers arms, a very nice pint and a !ovely evening
A short walk of about 20 mins depending on how fast you walk in the lovely summer evening breeze back to Drakewalls and a lovely coffee before settling down for the nightThe next day i walked the other way into Gunnislake village, a beautiful Tamar river runs through where i walked down the riverside ,stopped to read my book for an hour or two and enjoyed the sun, and beautiful scenery before stopping off on the way back in the friendly Gunnislake pub for a nice cool pint.
Couldnt of picked a better weekend in spring to go
