just to let you know we went to Eastbourne for the day with jean, ken, mary, hester, grace, dennis plus lilo, claire looking after everyone! the minibus dropped us off at the Hydro Hotel which was amazing - service brilliant, surroundings opulent and seaview. to top it off, we had gorgeous weather and sat outside on the lawn most of the time, playing croquet and having a go on the putting green...eating eat cream and taking in the sea air!
