This weekend Julie started rowing again. Although she went to keep fit at Cliff House and a NIA Dance session with friend Nola this week she still found rowing really hard. It was a cold morning too and that didn't help. Pete on the other hand went into town, had a sausage sandwich and a coffee on the quayside and watched the gigs go by. Later he returned to pick up Julie and helped take the rowing gig out of the water - and that nearly killed him when trying to push it up the slip.
On Saturday evening we were invited to friends Brian and Nola's for dinner to celebrate Brian's birthday and to meet new neighbours Phillipa and Steven. We had a really good evening and a lovely meal.
On Sunday we went back to the Avon valley, but walked from Topsham bridge along the discussed railway bridge with friends Lynda and Mike. Not the best morning, but clear and fresh and very peaceful walking through the woods. On the way home we stopped off at Avon Mill Garden Centre for a snack, which 
rather than using for shopping seems to be a car park for walkers to start from.
Our cat Alfie came to us as a stray (we thought) only to find that he preferred us (and other neighbours) to his owners. We adopted him and in the last few years before we moved he was never a playful or happy cat and suffered from feline calicivirus. In the few months between us moving out of our house in Dagenham to Devon he stayed with a "Cat Lady" and then other neighbours who we occasionally shared him with.
Since moving here we have had his back teeth removed (a solution to calicivirus) and he has never been healthier. He is playful and content (most f the time) and will now often be seen having a mad frolic in the house or garden. he is happy to play, but happier still to lay on Julie whilst she watches TV. He is also pampered by friends Clara and Martin who look after him while we are away and he now seems to be a very happy pussy.
