The boys
The lady who conducted the gospel choir at the royal wedding was on my bus at Clapham common so we had a short chat!

Jan 2. Louise and family came for lunch. Delicious beef and pavlova. We had champagne. Played Cranium and sang Angels' carol. Delightful! Quizzes on TV, sweets we used to eat.

Jan 4 Saturday lovely walk on Holy Island with Richard and Augustine from the Melanesian brotherhood. SJ delightful playing by Jay Bevan and Stephen Dickinson Saint-Saens, Martinu and Brahms. Nice chat to Jan. Henry came and he did a canvas and baking. Dropped him back early as there was a match against Chelsea so we were very early at church. Tea at Grace's. Mark played 3 Epiphnay hymns and Fr Andrew sang a bit in the sermon! Liam student from Richmond and Vallodalid. New Year Bakeoff and Hannukah cooking.

Gibraltar
18.9.17 From Seville to Gibraltar. Quicker to walk over border waving passport. Small buses drove across aiprot runway. Europe point with view to Africa. St Michael's cave and macaques. Crowded Main Street from cruise liners. RC and Anglican cathedrals and the excellent Gibraltar museum. Ice cream. People were disappointed. To Torremelinos and big hotel balcony and beach view. Went to excellent restaurant on beach and had anchovies, prawn and avocado salad and swordfish. Much cheaper than the tour extra outing which would have cost 110E.
