Hotel Fong, Bournemouth
Hotel Fong is full
Dishwasher and washing machine hasn't stopped spinning.

First Emma and Stuart, then the karate boys and then Emma and Dave.

Soon it will be the airshow weekend and we will have a house and a half full! There will me my sister, husband and three kids, then Angela's sister, husband and two kids, Paul Mount and his two kids, and my brother Ken. Plus a few cousins may also come down the days before the house fills out.

The fees are going up this year.

Summer is coming, isn't it?

Hotel Fong, BournemouthSummer is rapidly approaching, if fading in and out at times and it looks like it will be a bumper year for Hotel Fong and guests. Parents, family, relatives and friends coming down very, very soon.

It is going to be full and then some over the Bournemouth Airshow in August as well. Not sure how much more BBQ food I can take this year but I will give it a good go.

Another loss and a sad day

4-sightIt is the funeral of Chris Beck today who lost his fight with prostate cancer. Chris was one of the earliest members of the company 4-Sight, of which most of our Bournemouth friends are from. One of the nicest sales people I have ever met.

I remember sharing a hotel room with him during an Apple Expo exhibition and from our chats I had a lot of respect for him. Although I didn't know him too well, I found him an absolute professional and gentleman.

Rest in peace.

Edinburgh 2, Paris 0.

Paris scored an early own goal with a pickpocket that chose to work his disgusting trade on my dad but then Edinburgh hits a beauty into the back of the net when some guy comes up to me after I leave Wetherspoons and asks am I Gordon. A bit puzzled I said yes. Then he hands me my wallet that must have dropped out as I left.

Nice one Edinburgh.

Had an impromptu BBQ in the back garden this weekend. Well, it was more like some people invited themselves around but we are happy to accomodate a bit of a party.

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.
