Lovely being at Sonia's - but not
with an empty glass! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Chris and Helen arrive - we
loved the cowboy hat ... |
|
 |
| ... and so did Maria. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Presents included bubble guns |
|
|
|
 |
| The cow-girl's happy |

I was much happier than I
looked sitting by Kate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The starlet's off for a seaside
shoot. |
|
 |
| The cliff at St Margaret's Bay ... |
|
 |
... but Maria forgot her
swimming costume ... |
|
 |
| ... not to worry, her dress was OK. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Cold but loved every minute. |
|
 |
| Elegant in Dad's tee-shirt. |
|

Very nice present from Sandy and
Ada ... unfortunately didn't last long |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Getting ready to go out for the
lobster meal. |
|
|
 |
In the children's playground at the
Swingate Inn on the Deal Road |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Where's my Carlsberg? |
|

Sonia organised a surprise
remembrance cake for Mum. Lovely. |
|
|
|
|

 |
End of an entertaining evening
at the Swingate |
|
 |
Getting into our own swinging
round the gate! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| And more lobster. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Ready for bed ... |
|
 |
| ... why not! |
|
 |
Pranks at hotel before meeting
up at Sonia's again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Day 2 but more subdued. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Watching yesterday's video. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Off for more swimming - but still
no costume. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Two pretty hats. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Didn't quite get the hang of skimming! |
|
|
 |
It was a great swim but not worth
looking like this ... even in Dover! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Bye-bye - back to Birmingham,
Sahkalin Island off Siberia,
and Hong Kong. |
