On The Island

George VI park for our walk, very windy by the sea but the park wasn’t too bad.  We also managed not to get wet!

Rain for most of the rest of the day.

Another trip to the dentist for my new dentures .I now have them but they are so tight. I will now have to try and get used to them. She made my mouth bleed trying to get the top ones out. This is all going to be a challenge.

Next on to Asda Optician as one of Mal’s lenses had scratched. They were so apologetic and made him a new pair which they will guarantee for 2 years. No arguments, just apologies. Excellent customer service. He failed to tell them he had been crawling around the bushes at the allotment! BUT they were supposed to be scratch resistant.

This was emailed to me from The Ivy, we will have to pay another visit!!…………………..

Introducing The Ivy’s £19.66 Menu

We’re kicking off our Summer of Sport with a limited-edition £19.66 Menu, a nod to the historic year football came home. Enjoy two courses for £19.66, featuring crowd-pleasing favourites, as we rally behind England during the FIFA World Cup and celebrate the spirit of the beautiful game. Here’s to doing it all over again! Available throughout the FIFA World Cup, Monday 8th June to Sunday 19th July, served Sunday to Friday from 11:30am-4:30pm on weekdays and 11:00am-4:00pm on Sundays.

Showers during the night but we managed a quick dry walk.

At least my courgettes in pots in the garden haven’t been beaten down too much by the rain.

 

Not so sunny so we took Ellie to St Mildred’s Bay as we know there are slopes on to the beach and wouldn’t have to carry her up the steps!  There were masses of winkles on the rocks.

A lot of rain in the afternoon so we caught up on Springwatch and watched some of the birds live in their nests and even eggs hatching.

In the evening we went to the Marlowe Theatre to see Jools Holland. We go every time he is on there and it is always such a good night, by the end of which we are all up and dancing to his Boogie Woogie!

As always we had middle seats in the second row.

So good!

 

A lovely walk around Kearsney and we managed to avoid the rain! There are a lot of ducklings and young moorhen at the moment.

Of course Ellie had to go in the stream.

Mal went to the allotment, more broad beans, peas and so many strawberries.

In the evening we caught up with Springwatch. I love that programme.

A work day and we were really busy.

Knees Wood for our walk, nice and cool and then of course the Captains Cafe for a coffee.

A slight diversion on the way home – Home Bargains, to buy some more summer plants!

Tris came round for lunch and stayed until evening. It was lovely to see him.

We watched the second half of Soccer Aid.
