Thanks! We've got some great reviews on Trip Advisor in the last couple of weeks :D

We spent the morning putting up a display for the Famous Five Adventure Trail in one of the windows. Hodders has kindly sent me some A2 size posters so we can make a real splash with them!

(Sadly a real splash was the weather in Poole today... :( :lol: )

I think the weather is going to be horrible and wet all summer, except for 2 weeks while the Olympics are on, when it will be 34 degrees and people will suffer from heat-stroke.

To have this much rain, and these many days of virtually solid rain in June and July, it's very unusual.
I went on some great adventures reading the Famous Five books.
