Bournemouth has a very funny layout.. the two main streets of the town go up both sides of the hills that lead down to the park and eventually to the famous Pier.

I was a bit down in the dumps this day.. I think because I was watching all the families and couples having some fun. It was mid term break so there were heaps of kids around and the entrance to the Pier was packed with amusements and ...

I had an extra long surf first thing in the morning before we headed off. Although it was small in I really enjoyed it. I had tried to convince Kim to stay for the forcasted HUGE swell in 2 days time but I knew that we had places to go and things to see and that it really was not on the cards. So it was time to head back east.

... we went into the club. Where they were just finishing off the kids club show. We had a three piece singing group and then two comedians. I think the entertainment startedabout 9 and went through till about 1. In the club they had a kids amusement centre, with pool tables, dance machines and arcade games.. we went through a lot of 2p coins than night!! I was really surprised at the amount of entertainment there. A lot of fun for a big kid like me!!

... a smashing roast at the White Lion Carvery in Crewkerne.

Sad to leave this morning, Art went off to work in Bridport at about 8.30 am and we were so imersed in chatting with Thurza that we didn' get away til 11.45 am.

Arrived at Wayne & Julia Stonehams new pad at about 3.30 pm after stopping for lunch.

Hoping to catch the England v Croatia World Cup qualifier in about half an hour live on ITV!!

... erectors Karen & Eric who we had meet through Karen's support website Behind the Gray not even a year ago and oh how glad we were to know them and have them come visit, we would never have managed to get it up on our own, it would probably be at some refuse tip now!! So a huge "BIG THANK YOU" to Karen & Eric. To say the weather was bad would be a bit of an understatement but it was typical bank holiday weather rain rain and wind and yet ...

I'm having a break. I've earned it, I've been working hard. I'm off to Belize for a couple of weeks, so don't expect any updates on here until I'm back. On Tuesday Ian Tibble got behind the wheel for the first time. He was disappointingly good and only found one kerb on the whole trip. He even ventured along the Esplanade, which had taken me a couple of drives to summon up the courage to do. He nearly got us our first parking ticket as we waited on the Esplanade ...

... to be a tall order. Time for some serious scrounging from the participants and a chance to find out who is serious and who is just dreaming. I already had some money from Lucy and Jim and immediately a transfer was made of a further amount . A promise from Steve Priddy of further funds to be transferred. Other text messages and phone calls were promising. Jo also offered £100 to book her spot for the last 2 ...

... blocked by snow and we had to detour to Montigny and thence over the St Bernard Pass and down to Aolta.
Of that whole journey, which I will one day, if time permits relate to you, we were most impressed by Switzerland. At the time it was the most expensive place in Europe. A grapefruit priced at a Co-op shop in Basel, en route, scared us into living very frugally whilst in that country! So we missed out on the wonderful transport opportunities of rail, cablecars and lake ...

... and return via
Netherlands. Unfortunately the Grimsel and Furka, even in mid June were
both still blocked by snow and we had to detour to Montigny and thence
over the St Bernard Pass and down to Aolta.
