After getting soaked in the sea at Brighton (and I thought it was the English who were supposed to be mad!), they are now in Bournemouth.  Their B&B is run by a bald ex-Navy chap (Don’t mention the war!) – wonder what he’s making of our intrepid explorers?

Sigh of relief – they got to see Doctor Who!  They’d been worried about getting to a telly in time, but made it, thank goodness.  Of course I’ve recorded it, but they wanted to see it ‘live’ for the first time!  Apparently, the lads are now in the pub, while Michi has gone to church.  Wonder where they’ll end up tomorrow?

London Eye

Just had a text from nephew Steve from the top of the London Eye – he and his two friends are sightseeing on day two of their expedition to the wilds of southern TTI.  After flying into Birmingham yesterday (so Steve could collect my spare cellphone, along with maps and timetables), they set off for Oxford.  Today, they moved on to London – is the capital ready for this German invasion, I wonder?  No breaking news on the BBC so far…!

Finally delurked on ICHC after lurking for a loonnng time.  Pippinkit so impressed she flicked an ear – ah well, at 21½, she’s entitled to!
