Spongebob Day
Finally back in Bournemouth after a big old journey by car up to Sunderland, Newcastle, Leicester, Epsom and back.

Saw the nephews, had Spongebob Squarepants Day with them and a new nephew was born on the Tuesday.

Sun, wind, snow and rain plus 909 miles in the car.

It was also Ken's 21st party that we had in As You Like It, Jesmond. Thanks to Duncan for putting a good spread on and great to see everyone there.

Farewell to Sarah

Flowers for Sarah
In peace and not far away
It was with great sadness to attend the funeral of Sarah Mount on Friday in Sheffield although it is with great gladness to have known her.

Her wishes were not to talk of her in hushed tones and to celebrate her life on that day. Well Sarah, I certainly did that. I stopped off in Kenilworth and stayed at the Loch Fyne hotel there. In celebration I thought it fitting to order the seafood platter for two, although it was only me, and a nice bottle of Sancerre. I scoffed the lot and raised a glass to you.

I never did drink the Remy Martin nightcap, but what I did do was go to the car and get my Kit Kat as I thought I would have the munchies late at night but then ended up going to the Chinese takeaway next door and ordered a Special Chow Mein as I was still starving! Well Sarah, I had a good night in your honour.

Don't worry, we will look after Paul and the children.

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.

 

Non-legal blah blah blah: These are just my personal ramblings and recommendations to which your mileage may vary. If you find the stuff useful then great, if not then it wasn't me it's the Internet's fault.
