Thankyou Mum and Dad for putting up with

the mob, and looking after us so royally!

And it was lovely to meet up with the welsh contingent too at the Bonchurch Inn on the Southern edge of the Island which comes highly recommended!

Steve Gemma and Clive, Nikki and Freya and Pam (Freya's Gran), Cathy and John and Edmund and Thomas and Kate decended upon the Bonchurch Inn and were well received and catered for with real Directors Ale (Courage) a good wine list and even a glass of milk for Edmond, and Genuine Italian pasta and fresh seafood with hardly any notice ..in fact none.
It's a proper CAMRA pub with brass and copper on the walls and that good ol' genuine English pub feel.
That's from 2 to fifty all sorted.
John is a big fan of the Undercliff and we went down to the beach there after closing time around midnight and saw a magical display of luminescence visually locked into the waves. It was like a sort of lightening or the Hollywood effect you get in movies when someone gets plugged into the mains! except it was beautiful!
Dickens wrote stuff here and this is where we all enjoyed Kates 9th Birthday ahhhh!
