My broadband has been repaired so I'm going to put my e-mails on the blog so that everyone can read and join in. I've change from Orange to BT and have a new e-mail for home and kilham although the old one still runs for a year.
Kilham -we are spending 10 days here and it is a great place for holiday as we are having an Indian summer and the weather yesterday was 80°. The garden looks great as a red orange blossom is out to the front plus the Clematis so the place looks like a picture postcard. We're in the process of transplanting the tomato plants we should be in bloom when you are over and a herb garden. We spent a fortune on the lawn feeding it I had the sprinkler on overnight so it should look like a cricket pitch late in the year. We abort a superb solid oak wooden table and umbrella - I've used yacht varnish and it is to be used in the garden for meals. I bought one for James as well and it has two benches which she is going to use in his own kitchen for the kids.
We went to the beach which was heaving and all the children would've loved it including the donkeys. The great British public on holiday are not fashion plates and a tattoo is de rigeur. It would have been nice to use the red speedboat I'll go for trip on the Yorkshire Bell bully them to wait for this week when it is less crowded.
We had a superb meal in the Captain's Table of Moules Marinaire followed by half a lobster salad and homemade chips for £26 for two. Angela will have to visit when over as efficient chips are also excellent.
Your mother uses the public library and is now gone to biographies of every film star you could mention. She drew the line at the biography of Dusty Springfield! The facility is fantastic and it is just me modernized and you just pile your books onto a computer reader and it automatically books out with a printout of the date when it is due back. I've never seen anything like it as you compile five books on top of each other and it can still read the chip.
Philippa - is really well but is now waiting to get a job. As you know she was interviewed about 10 days ago I didn't get the job but the delay suggested that she was very close and she suspects it was an internal candidate. She is going to apply for three-day week teaching job in law.
Yesterday she cleaned the Yaris with Val and they took some photographs and they're going to advertise in the local paper. I obtained a valuation of £980 - but I think she is going to sell it for 800 pounds, which is a bargain as it is totally reliable and very economical and she has full service history.
Apparently she's going to come to kilham with Sandra if they can find a weekend and next month is going to a Greek island with Val for week.
The house has been decorated and looks very nice and clean and I'll have to consider getting the new development to the kitchen as this is the worst aspect of the house. She still talks about getting another dog.
Ottawa - I had a brainstorm with my BA booking from Manchester to Gatwick as I booked the return flight on the 28th June - completely forgetting that you fly overnight and it is the 29th when you arrive back.
I'll have to speak to them to see if I can change although it is a nonrefundable ticket.
Your mother is planning old bits and pieces as small presents she doesn't want to arrive empty-handed. We thought perhaps if it was convenient, then we would have a meal out with Gary and Angela on the Friday evening - grandparents - as we have not seen them for long time.
We will buy Adam a watch - this will be a present from granny and granddad and he can use in the future. I shall have to send him a little e-mail to dip into his bank account as granny and granddad will be very poor - have you seen the rate of exchange. Sterling is in freefall.
I will bring my video camera to record the event and I hope Adam will be wearing a bow tie as you see in all films of graduation events.
I received a nice photograph last week of a competition. I wonder who is the winner whether it was Issie or Lucy!-certainly in the IQ department, it would've been a close contest between Buddy and Lucy-neither endowed with great brains. I'm certain it's the breeding and next time everyone should get a mongrel. We had dogs in the past that could almost speak.
Tim and Deidre - they visited for me last week and it looks like the Elizabeth Taylor of Harrogate. As you know she has a huge diamond ring which she bought in Liverpool for almost 10,000 pounds and she turned up in an equally sized emerald ring. They both looked extremely well but does your mother will tell you when we meet, their faces looked distinctly different particular Tim and this was not the ginger color of his hair. I blame my mother for the tinting as she was an expert having a different color every week. I will tell you my suspicions when I see you but Tim's eyelids are completely distorted. They have had nothing but problems with a Spanish villa and they again to sell even at a financial loss. Plus they again to sell the house at Sherborn.
