Plymouth

Glen and myself drve down to Plymouth on Wednesday to see the latest addition to the family, Grace, and enjoyed seeing everyone, including Rachel and Roxanne who have busy schedules with work and boyfriends. We had a good time walking round Saltram House

and a barbecue in the evening. In any moments of free time, I was trying to resolve some problems with computers which had lots of pop ups and spyware as well as viruses. Good porgrams include Spybot and Ad Aware which remove almost all of the rubbish there is on the internet but updating Windows is essential too along with a good virus checker. Spybot and Ad Aware are available free.





The following day took us to Bigbury Beach where the weather was great until mid-afternoon. Great game of cricket with Glen 22, Lewis 52 and Jordan 90 not out. I think they were all bored by the end though. Along with Rochelle, the youngsters played madly in the sea with rubber rings and inflatable boat. 'I got it' was the cry of the day as they tipped each other out and tried to claim the boat for themselves
