You're welcome anytime...

Thanks for your thanks! We really enjoyed having you here and glad that you could use us as a base for the weekend. We haven't been out in the garden since our bbq as the weather has been distinctively autumnal so your lovely gift of a sunflower is a little confused but still in full bloom.

Clive & I have some time off in late August so if you are on the island we'd love to come to see you if you are in the country!

Did you see the programme on BBC1 this evening about the Portsmouth Spinnaker? The show covered the origins of Portsmouth, the Mary Rose, Nelson and the Victory as well as Portsmouth being the largest natural harbour in Europe and Brunel's birthplace being just a short distance from where the 'Warrior' is docked. Such a shame that all that awful architecture has spoiled the heritage but it really seems that money is finally being invested what with all those plush harbourside apartments, shops & restaurantrs.
Did you see the very end where two men were standing on the glass floor of the viewing deck as they looked 150ms down to the harbour ...oh-er.
