Hi Bloggers

Birthdays coming up in September. Amy Jo (4th birthday on 9th) Jessica (14th birthday on 6th), At least that is what my list says. Pete and Jan's Wedding Anniversary on ?10th. Also Rebecca's birthday on 23rd and Auntie Joan's on 25th. What a busy month. HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO ALL OUR READERS.

Love the painting Steve Are you in business for a large colourful one for our bed head? We have Lions in one room, Sur le Pont in another and sunflowers in the small room. Nothing in ours - only a couple of cherubs (on the wall I mean) Space for a Cowes Week interpretation. I hope blog readers will not go to Rick Stein's!!

School back soon, I suppose Good luck to you all and keep smiling. Don't forget my litle message to you Edmund - did you deliberately leave it here. I meant what I said we all love you - keep that in mind.

Julian, we love the latest batch of autumn fruits they are reall stunning and as one of your admirers says You can almost taste the smell. (That it me)
What a lovely photo of the rainbow over Le Ventoux. Have you really lost your ipad, Ruth. Postcards from Bremen made me smile even if they did make you blub. I love reading your blogs. Now you know why Robin Hood could fire his arrows so far - he had a BIG BOW

Where are the Sg blogs these days. Are the children back at school?

Cathy's 50th (and also Jan's birthday) as you may remember Steve has suggested we all meet in the OC region, where he and his in-laws had such a lovely time a couple of years ago. Somewhere near Cap d'agde, Beziers, Perpignan, Carcassonne midway between Pete and Julian and also accessible from the Channel ports for both Cathy and us if we travel by car (as we have done before) p.s John is 50 on 4th Jan 2006. L.O.L from Mum and me,

P.S Forgot to tell you all Mum is going into the Orchard Hospital in Newport on the 15th for some amendments to the waterworks area. Poor darling she has had this trouble for many years. I can only hope that this is the cure-all (again)
