Thank you Nic for your kind offer

Yes, Nic; Mum would love to dine at the Mirabelle on her birthday. Question is ?what do I buy for her? Will you be making the arrangements from Sg?.
Mum spent all day (almost) trying to decide what to wear. Of course she has a lot to think about (dresswise) as we will be having a varied week, requiring many clothing changes (she says).
What with travelling to Eastbourne tomorrow, spending all day (probably) on Wednesday, looking round the town and enjoying what Eastboune has to offer. ??A walk along the Prom? Then dining out on Thursday at the Mirabelle. (Kindly paid for by Nic)
On Friday we meet all the delegates attending the conference at a Civic Reception. On Saturday she is going on a coach outing with all the Ladies and once more to The Grand at night for buppies and a jig about, before returning to our hotel (The Bay Lodge) on Saturday night. Then we are going to Oxford on Sunday as Steve has kindly offered to drive us up to Stourbridge to attend Linda's funeral on Tuesday. Perhaps we will have a rest there?? What a programme for a couple of olds
Thanks, Peter for your email which I have printed out and will give to Lenny (so much of it as it concerns Linda).
We have changed our ferry time to 2000 on Wednesday at no extra charge, then we go home to rest!!!
Well done Gemma for your spartan efforts. Git on yer bike. Love from us both.
