We had a nice catch up with Crystal and Gerrard at Kings Bridge Bar and Restaurant.  They have such yummy breakfasts.


We enjoyed a pleasant Saturday morning here for breakfast.

Three weeks working in George Town

 I was helping to fill in for staff on holidays.  It's a great place to work and the deliveries are in the Pipers River area, including Lulworth and Weymouth.  The days varied from wet and wintery to sunny and summery.  I had a lovely time working in that area.

Richard's Birthday


We celebrated Richard's birthday over a couple of weekends.  We went out to dinner at the Rosevears Hotel and then the following weekend we had a lovely BBQ at home with family.  So nice to catch up with everyone.
