Oh, What’s Occurin?

Christmas has come early for Gavin and Stacey fans…especially here at home in Wales. It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for, Gavin & Stacey is to return to our screens for a one-off Christmas special. Over the last few weeks, very close to my hometown , as stars from the hit British sitcom took to the streets of Barry. Gavin & Stacey is to return to our screens for a one-off Christmas special.

Crowds have been gathering to watch Gavin & Stacey being filmed locally. I thought I would take my children over to Barry or Barry’s Island as Pam calls it and see if we could see any of the fuss!

The Bafta-winning sitcom, about a long-distance relationship between a girl from south Wales and an Essex boy, was last screened in the UK in 2010.

Barry Island has attracted visitors since the 1870’s and the appeal of its golden beaches, cafes and family amusements is stronger than ever. … Or for the more adventurous, Barry  Island Park offers thrilling rides. A place I visited many summers as a young lad, making memories I will never forget and often taking my children and dogs down there! Barry Island in the Vale of Glamorgan near Cardiff and is a must visit place to go!

We stopped by where Stacey worked at Marcos Cafe and Nessa’s amusement place.  I’m looking forward to Christmas Day , after almost a decade away from the screens, wouldn’t it be great to find out – what did happen on that fishing trip?!

When asked about what fans could expect from the special – James kept the script close to his chest and teased: ‘We just want the new show to be a nostalgic joy-bomb’. The Gavin and Stacey special will air on Christmas Day….I for one, cant wait!

I still prefer to go abroad for my hols though, no disrespect to the UK but it just isn’t the same is it?

As always if you have a cruise you need checking please give me a call or email at [email protected].

Take care and hopefully speak soon.
