Wednesday 15th August. The annual cream tea at Abbeyfield was held indoors this year instead of there lovely garden because of the inclement weather. Never the less it was an enjoyable few hours with the usual speedy waitress service and excellent cream teas. Weight of the cake ,tombola were all there to take part in.

Saturday 11th August I was with the Lyme Regis Radio team in the Carnival procession. We had speakers letting people know who we were and talk to them on route down broad street and on to the Cobb. Massive crowds as usual a great evening. This is me resting before the start .



















Wednesday 8th August In the morning I was on the beach with the Carnival and Regatta team



interviewing children and there parents before and during the hunt the small mat game 120 had been hidden in the sand earlier in the morning Nearly 90 children took part. But only fifity seven mats were found . Never mind all the children got a prize it was all good fun .If you look at the photos some of the children were very big ! You will notice the pirate he found some, the young lady sitting next to my friend the sound engineer was the winner with seven mats.The interview is on LRRadio















Tuesday 7th August With the Town Clerk and the Vice Chairman of T & A committee I traveled to Bournemouth on Council business. In the afternoon I went to the Bournemouth eye hospital which turned out to be my final visit and have been discharged . A great relief at long last although not all my sight has returned the hospital have done a great job and I must be very thankful to them for what I have. I shall now be heading for the spec shop !





Euplogia quadripunctaria.

In the past day Josephine and I have had a visitor from Europe a Jersey Tiger but only visits Devon in this country she seems to have strayed a bit, quite beautiful a painted lady if ever there was one. A moth who flies at day as well as night its winter is passed as a small caterpillar.She did not stay long and had somewhere else to go you could say a flying visit. We wished her well and sent her on here way. Double click on the picture .

This was held in there combined unit open day at the Woodmead car park .

May you carry on the good work in the future.



Today at 11.00am this morning was the start of the first Golf ball derby. 100 hundred golf balls were sold and were raced down the slope from the gardens onto the parade . The winner was a young man from London on holiday. My part in all this was interviewing some of the participants for Lyme Regis Radio on various topics about the Golf ball race there holiday perhaps and how they liked the new style Lyme beach and front. In the evening with my wife Josephine we had a meal at the Bay the Bay restaurant and watched the torch light parade go bye .
