Pete's here

Pete arrived in Bournemouth yesterday afternoon having spent the previous two days in Paris. We've been looking forward to his arrival for a little while now - and I was quite impressed to see that he's been lugging around a dozen cans of CANADIAN beer, and a bottle of French wine. (English beer is piss, and the bottle wine we bought for a pound at ASDA was even worse.)

To celebrate, we had Hannah over last night for dinner and games. And drinking.

Now, today, Pete has gone to Rossmore with Troë following a promise of being allowed to play indoor football after school. We've warned him about the students, and he's read the blog - but the lure of English-style football was just to much. Hopefully he survives.

John arrives tonight and then we leave for Scotland tomorrow morning at 10am.

Hey Adam
Love your wit! Glad Pete got there okay. Hope he had all the gum, etc. with him, too.
Have a great time in Scotland - I'm jealous.
Talk at you soon. Say hi to pete and john.
Love

I hope you all have a great time on your week away.
And I'm not being rude but your comment about english alcohol...with a bit of effort you'd probably find canadian beers in the supermarket & what exactly did you expect from a One Pound bottle of wine?!?!?! If your brave (or stupid!) enough to try drinking it you deserve everything you get! ;-)

You're in Scotland now--and we're jealous too!--so you won't read this til you get home, but Caran's birthday present arrived yesterday. She, being the least able to deal with delayed gratification of anyone I know, ripped into it with delight, and was even more delighted by the lovely purple journal.

For heaven's sake, what is your music director doing? Do I have to come over there and shake somebody up?

Keep the faith.
