The Blog...

The golden sands of the Bournemouth coast is a huge draw for everyone, especially if the sun it out. I don't think there is anywhere better in the UK to be honest and to be biased :-)

This beach club is open to all and membership is free!

However, beware the dodgy traders that you might come across. I can think of one but you might want to refresh my memory. Sometimes no amount of rebranding can help with CRM and CMS sales.

What is Brain Creative Intelligence anyway? Not very evident when £330k+ got burnt through under the guise of another local company it emerged. I personally don't like other folk getting duped either.

Been pretty busy over the past couple of months with visitors to Hotel Fong and home improvements going on.

Karate people been and gone. Family been and gone.

Kitchen repainted. Dining room redecorated but just waiting for our table and chairs to complete the refit. Got a couple of good deals from Mac and Mac if you are looking for some nice furniture ideas.

Red Arrows and Bournemouth airshow done. Cocktails at The Larder House, drinks down the beach in Koh Thai's tent and the evening bands were all enjoyable. A shout out to The Revue who played a great gig at Cafe Riva. Really enjoyed their laid back and fun style of playing.

Complete roof replacement to begin next weekend!

So, it is not all finished yet...

Had a lovely day over in Hitchin for Karen and Chris' wedding.

A big thank you for the invite and massive congratulations from us.

Wedding photos online.

I have to admit that I was one of those moaning cynical lot being all gloom and doom ahead of the London Olympics, how we'd look like bafoons compared to the slickness of Beijin's opening ceremony and so on.

I was wrong. Quirky Britishness was the way to go. No need to compete on numbers.

The action has been red hot as well. The cycling, sailing, and rowing, then the gymnastics and the tennis. All go and the human side of the athletes, the tears and the joy is all very touching. The middle weekend was exhausting just watching.

Roll on this next week and fingers crossed for even more gold medals.

Hooray.
