Shame some restaurants have closed

restaurants closing
A quick thought over coffee
Just been updating a few items on the web site and have been tidying up some of the older restaurant reviews to show the places have closed down.

A shame that some of the niche and interesting places have gone.

Take Zafari that was in Boscombe. Where else are we to eat crocodile steaks, kangaroo and ostrich?

We went to Nippon Inn which is on what I have seen called the Gaza Strip on the internet to mean Charminster. Very affectionate I must say. It was good to see Nippon Inn was full and we enjoyed our food yet again. There menu has grown and I suspect their client base has grown and I wish them the best of luck. My previous favourite, Tokyo Sushi, had closed down years ago and not too long after starting up as well.

It is great to see Bournemouth has a diverse range of eateries and great to see the good people of Bournemouth checking them all out. I can quite easily and happily go from the Harvester to Gary Rhodes and back again without too much thought.

Brussels 2009
At the Mexican Grill
Finally uploaded photos from when we visiting Tom and Sharon Kemp in Brussels.

Oh yes, we were back at the Mexican Grill. Whelks, oysters and more whelks. Yum yum.

Wasn't too sure about the Sterling Euro exchange rate. Very poor indeed.

Not fair, I have to pay interest again.

After two months of 0% interest on my tracker, I have to start paying now.

So unfair, ah well a good thing doesn't last.

Sun, sea and sand, and surf and turf.

Scorchio, hot damn hot.

Weather reports have been a bit off so hope that the sun is really coming.

No BBQ
We hadn't organised a group BBQ on the beach time time round.

Too much has been happening and weather is probably not great, not that it has stopped us before but I think we should leave it for another time.

It will be a scorchio summer this year. It will, it will, it will. Plenty time left for a swim and BBQ.

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.
