... I even saw a picture of the bathing compartments pulled by horses into the water so people could swim without anyone seeing them in their swimmers. I'm presuming it was for the women! I also presume their swimmers were neck to ankle... lol what would they think these days!!<br><br>I was going to have lunch on the pier but they weren't selling any food.. ah well you can't have it all your own way!

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.<br><br ...

... the train station, Hannah got questioned about her age, because she is so tall everyone thinks she is older than 15! On the way Jane had texted us to say that there had been a mix up with the caravan and we would be staying in a tent! Hannah was horrified.. so was I.. its still a bit chilly in the evenings!! lol<br><br>But all was good, our tent turned out to be a very large caravan.. more like a permanent van, three bedrooms and I think slept ...

... a smashing roast at the White Lion Carvery in Crewkerne.<br><br>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.<br><br>Arrived at Wayne &amp; Julia Stonehams new pad at about 3.30 pm after stopping for lunch.<br><br>Hoping to catch the England v Croatia World Cup qualifier in about half an hour live on ITV!!

... rain but we all had fun. The day we went to Monkey World was a really nice day weather wise and we all enjoyed it. Jody, Marice, Emily, Ryan, and Isabelle gave Dee an Orangutan adoption for his birthday, it was Joly a baby around 4 years old, Dee was thrilled and managed to meet Joly to say hello albeit through the viewing glass but it was fun, and it will be good to keep up with Joly's progress. I am sure we will be going back for another ...

... get some footage. I'm truly becoming a media slut, telephone interviews, press releases. I'm expecting a red carpet and a send off by the mayor now. I've got a list of 16 items to do today. I've already whittled it down to 14 and to be honest, they are all relatively minor and not all to be done by me. I've got 4 posters to stick on the bus. Bill certainly came up trumps on his last minute advertising sales. I think he's got £350 coming in now ...

... a message from Bubble. Bubble is one of the twins who play prop in the Weymouth RFC front row. He was asking about the possibility of coming out to Ethiopia to do some rugby training. Seems word is spreading and the idea of a game out there and a day or two of coaching is edging closer. I also confirmed that my son Sean can come out to Ethiopia for that last week. He's also in to his rugby, and football. He was chuffed as ...

... blocked by snow and we had to detour to Montigny and thence over the St Bernard Pass and down to Aolta. <br> 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 ...

Way back in 1973 my wife and I were living in Hull, East Yorkshire,<br>from where we set off in our tiny Datsun Cherry loaded with camping<br>gear to look at 'The Continent'. We went via Dover ferry to Belgium,<br>Luxembourg, France &amp; Germany to Switzerland. We camped beside Lake<br>Thun, at Gwatt and after a few days respite decided to go over the<br>Grimsel and Furka passes into Italy, then ...
