England 22th-26th July

We spent 4 days in Poole staying with my sister Sheila, Bob, Jake and Daniel. Denise, John and Claire also came down for the weekend and Charlotte loved catching up with her cousins (and aunts and uncles). We were fortunate in that the weather was lovely while we were there so we enjoyed some nice walks down to the beach, and a trip out on Sheila and Bob’s boat.



Sheila had bought Charlotte a bike which she loved riding everywhere. Friday we enjoyed a nice meal at the yacht club to celebrate Sheila’s birthday.


Jimmy got to see his friend Will, who happened to be in Swanage at the same time, and we also got to catch up briefly with Nicola, John, Jack and James from s/v Serephin, that we had been friends with in the Caribbean.

Denise, John and Claire drove back to London Monday night, taking Charlotte with them, to look after her for 10 days while we went away to Greece, just the 2 of us!
