Don't know how this one got in again.



Nice on the the teenagers

Tarr Steps



Tarr Steps Farm Hotel, where we stayed for three nights with Valentina for Brian's 76th - ouch.



Lovely couple having a long weekend before baby comes.





Valentina loved this walk over the stream and up into the hill.





On the beach




Pebble beach near to the harbour. Seaton. Devon. We all look a bit cold and tired.




Visit to Simon and Carmen



Sitting room. He is sitting!



Side of house with plants and gardening equipment...





Side of house with veggies growing on the left.







Carmen, Brian, Gypsy and Valentina after a walk. Valentina rolled in sheep shit, did she stink?


Went to see them on the way to Tarr Steps. Stayed over. Simon caught four bream and the landlord or should I say, landlady, cooked them for us - in the pub.










On a beach near to Seaton. Misty day, sea rough, no fishing for Simon. But what the hell, had bangers in the beach cafe.

FLOWERS, SHRUBS AND FOOD
















In our garden at the moment.










Should be ready to eat soon - the green ones, not the red ones.

Odiham Cottage Hospital







Brian and I give up our time to work in a League of Friends charity shop for Odiham Cottage Hospital.






We were shown round by the administrator and Margaret our boss. The other lady is Jeanne she also works in the shop. Nice afternoon.

Weekend with Harry and Joanne at ours

Jo looking very well.

This one at Hayley's. With Lynda of course!



Our garden, getting to play boules.




Playing the game, the little place at the bottom of the garden is not the house by the way!




Playing cards at The Cricketers



A walk in our orchard opposite our house.





Nice warm weekend at ours with HARRY to entertain us. A bus trip into Camberley on bus passes and a swift look around charity shops.










Lots of eating and resting as well.
