Paparazzi are often stationed outside hotels waiting for famous people to take a compromising photo of them. This day for the staff of Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa was certainly a day to remember when a very happy man was caught by some of them. It took one brave man to do it, as he went on his way to take a pee in the street, wearing a dressing gown.
The hotel staff had to be very careful when opening the door without him hearing them, as he had been known to wake up and use the toilet in his room every night, so was used to opening and closing the door without disturbing him. So they did it, they checked that he really wasn't there and then opened the door. Sure enough there he was, with his naked body fully on show to all the hidden camera fans. The poor man is probably still in shock, although he was laughing when he saw his dressing gown, because that meant that all the fans watching were going to get a really good look To make it even better for the hotel staff a guest happened to drive past, spotted this incident and filmed the poor man looking very embarrassed, as he sat down in his car. If you think it was bad, just wait for the video that has been uploaded on YouTube and see what people are telling them about them being there taking the photo.
Leo had just arrived in Colchester to start a new job as a dentist. He was looking for somewhere to stay, and had heard about the Dragonfly Hotel. But his old friend, who lived in the town, recommended the Holiday Inn Colchester instead.
That evening, while he was settling into his room at the hotel, he heard a loud music coming from somewhere nearby. It was the sound of an electric guitar. Curiosity piqued, Leo decided to follow the sound, and eventually he found himself in front of an old man who was playing a PRS SE Custom 24.
The old man looked like he had seen better days, but as soon as Leo stepped into view, he put down his guitar and his face lit up with a smile. He asked Leo if he liked to play the guitar and when Leo replied that he did, the old man said he could teach him some of the chords.
Leo happily agreed, and over the next few days, the two of them became friends. They would sit in the old man's room and play music for hours. Leo found himself learning more than just the basics of the guitar; he was learning about life, about joy and about music.
The old man had clearly seen some tough times, but Leo could see the joy in his eyes when he played. He was a living reminder that anyone can find something to be happy about, no matter what life throws at them.
The old man had been living in Colchester for years, but it was only through spending time with Leo that he discovered the beauty of the town and the people in it. Together, the two of them explored churches and art galleries, parks and pubs.
At the end of their time together, Leo said goodbye to the old man and promised to come back one day. He left feeling inspired and with a new fondness for the small town of Colchester.
