In April this year my son Steve, his wife Jo and our grandsons Tom and Ollie spent 28 wonderful days with us in Dominica. Lots of adventures and fun - and of course - a few cocktails!!! Andy and I loved it.

If you fancy a look at the blog of their visit you can see it by clicking on 'Kate-and-Andy-wandering'

Next week we are back in the real world of Blackpool. Just bought a car on ebay so lets hope it runs! Hoping to use it to get up and down to Mum whilst she settles into the care home. Looking forward to seeing all the family when we get back.

Just closing up Mango Lodge ready for rental to American Professors at the local University. Hope they look after it!
