KEEPING COOL
For all you poor people in UK who are suffering from this temporary heat wave I have a message from my former GP in London.
Dr Rosemary Leonard gives advice on how to stay cool.

A visit to Solva, Pembrokeshire
Sally, Graham, Joe and I decided to pay Auntie Annette and Uncle Peter a visit on Saturday 23rd May and arrived at their beautiful home in Solva just in time for a wonderful afternoon tea, carefully prepared by Annette.
We enjoyed a lovely spread of cucumber sandwiches, strawberries and chocolate cake, as well as some delicous scones and tea!
It was a sunny, clear day, so after tea, we sat in the conservatory and enjoyed the view over the sea and into Solva Harbour. As you can see from the picure, it really is a stunning view!
Annette and Peter showed us their wedding photographs (from the year 1950) and we enjoyed seeing our parents and grandparents in their younger days along with Uncle Adrian and Uncle Chris! Sally kindly brought her photos for Annette and Peter to see, which included a photo from her parent's wedding and her childhood. Annette was very pleased to see these as after her mother died, she didnt manage to retreive many of the family photos and hadn't seen many pictures of her mother or father, apart from her wedding photos.
It was a very special day and we all enjoyed hearing tales from Annette about her youth and growing up in London where she lived in Stratford on the Green until retiring to Solva with Peter in 1986. Annette commented on how she dearly loved her mother and reffered to her as a 'darling lady whom I miss to this day'. She has a strong beleif that we will all meet again in the afterlife and a real faith in this, as our Dad also had. Sally and Graham visited Dad's grave before coming to Wales and there is a photo of the tree in full bloom!

WANTED: UK STORAGE SPACE
Since leaving UK in September 2007 my household effects have been stored in a garage in Eastbourne. The owner now wants to sell the garage and I need to vacate.
I have two choices:
Ship to Philippines or
Find new storage space.
There is stuff that I definitely want here (family silver, heirlooms, photographs, CD collection, books etc), but there is much that I can now do without. So, before I ship I need to weed. In the meantime, I must find approximately 10 cu metres of new storage space. It should be secure and dry. I am prepared to pay. Can anyone help?

THE FISHERMAN'S COT
Abi mentioned her visit to The Fisherman's Cot.I thought I would post a picture of this beautiful venue for readers who are unfamiliar with the place.
From Paddy Burt's review in The Telegraph:
From Paddy Burt's review in The Telegraph:
The Fisherman's Cot, on the bank of the River Exe, is where (so it's said) Paul Simon wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water. If this is true, it's easy to see why he was inspired. Beneath the ancient grey stone bridge, the River Exe is flowing so fast that its foamy waves are a mini weir.

Visit to Brean
Joe and I went for a day trip to Weston super Mare today and took these photos of some cows at Brean beach. They were in a field of sand and seemed to be having a lovely afternoon! Today has been the hottest day of the year so far and it was a great day to visit the sea side.
