Just got back from Paris

Had a good few days in Paris meeting up with Graham and my parents. It was pretty sunny and warm and we did enough sightseeing and walking around to last us till next year.

The Euro/Sterling exchange rate is so bad. Everything was so expensive. OK, being Paris might have been part of it but it did make your eyes water when a can of coke was 4 euro at times and a large beer 8 euro.

And to the pickpocketeer, who I doubt will be reading this so this is purely for my own gratification, I hope you flashed the cash about a bit too much yourself and got done in by your lowlife scummers.

Someone mentioned about having some wine and food down on the Left bank and I didn't get what he meant. When we were on the river boat we saw loads of people sitting on the concrete river bank, bottle of wine opened, cheeses and bread out, all just enjoying a relaxed picnic. How bloody civilised. Looked fun.

We had a pleasant surprise in the offer of a complimentary meal with wine from the Sales & Marketing Co-ordinator at the Bournemouth Marriot Hotel.

Looking forward to it as the menu looks right up our street. Lots of seafood....

We will of course be doing a review for this website. In the meantime you can check out their web site: Highcliff Grill

Only four brave souls managed to stay until the 10pm fireworks. I think the council could rethink the last fireworks of the summer and bring it forward to 9pm so the kids have a chance to stay up and see them, and the evenings are darker by then.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
