July 2008

Bettina and Klaus visited us at the beginning of the month during one of their regulars trips to the UK. Bettina first stayed with us when we lived in Whitley Bay and she was on a student visit and it's good to keep up the contact. Other highlights were seeing Rufus Wainwright ( a real favourite of mine), Evita in Bristol, a theatre trip with friends from school, Hilary's 60th birthday celebrations and a holiday in Crete. Melvyn spent a week at Katy and Mark's helping them put in a new kitchen. That makes it the 3rd Ikea kitchen they've installed and I'm not sure that they get easier!
