2^ndJuly 2017

Dear All,

Yesterday was a long day as I was drafted into the cricket team for the afternoon followed by Street Pastors – a bit much for a 71 year old! Both cricket and SPs seem permanently short of numbers at present. It was fairly busy in town as it was payday. We were called to a comatose girl outside “Revolution” and were able to get her to “Nightlite” to recover from whence she was collected and returned to Stevenage. A group were amusing themselves by throwing glass bottles off of the roof garden of “Revolution” so there was broken glass everywhere. A lad had been thrown out of “The Regal” for fighting with all the buttons ripped off his shirt and had become parted from his wallet and a coach driver was refusing to drive his passengers home as they were very drunk and abusive and trying to overcome his reticence by threatening to “break his jaw!” So enough going on to make the time pass reasonably quickly!

We had over an inch of rain on Tuesday – which was needed but did not make for an easy drive to Hove. We were late setting out as I had a Garden Club booking at Barton Mills and eventually arrived at 11.20pm. On Wednesday we caught the bus to Brighton Marina together with Albert, as we had not explored it before. It has been developed with smart new houses together with shops and many restaurants. Amélie was getting excited in preparation of her birthday party yesterday.
