We prepared the room for two guests.
Our guest came alone.
He was very charming.
I had dusted all the places I could reach.
Our guest was about 6 foot eight.
I offered a choice for breakfast: smoked salmon, free range eggs, ham, bacon, walnut bread, wholemeal multigrain bread, organic cereal, Crunchy nut cornflakes, weetabix, orange juice, apple juice, plain organic yoghurt, low fat fruit yoghurt, creamy fruit yoghurt, apricots, oranges, melon, strawberries, jam, marmalade,real butter..
Our guest ate: cornflakes and toast.
I made a chocolate cake.

A fantastic gallery with great exhibitions and a wonderful cafe where they do the most amazing rhubarb cheesecake .(Not Alice or Goldilocks...Mr Greedy now)

There are beautiful houses on the road overlooking the sea so we ooohhed and aahhed and decide which one we would like to live in.
One had belonged to the Captain of the Titanic.
