A very pleasant evening spent in the company of the newlyweds at Bishopstone Glen helped us pass the long weekend recently. A barbecue and the beach followed by a few glasses in the Ship Inn. We should make the more of having the beach on the doorstep really.

Last night's Eurovision Party at the Haney's was a complete success. I was Abba, Mary was Turkey and Nick made a fabulous Dana International. (Although I was most jealous that my bridesmaids dress looked better on him!) Little Harry pulled the winning team from the hat and now has the pleasure of hosting it next year!

All good fun although I do seem to be paying for it today!
